Carb Sync Vacuum Tool/Gauge

My friend is planning to help me sync my carbs, and he mentioned a tool he likes that is composed of 4 tube-like gauges that he said resembled thermometers.
He said this style of gauges could be used both to sync my carbs and also to dial in the pressure on fuel injected bikes.
Anybody got any suggestions as to who makes the best or at least a very good version of this tool?
I'm thinking of getting this for him (cuz he's my friend);and then using my generosity as leverage to get him to do lots of work for me at less than fair market value!!!! :dry:

Thankye Skyman,
Now to find out whether this wonderful gizmadget can be used on his fancy eyetalian greaseburner as well as my beautiful classic japanese marvel of 80's innovation.

This is the carb sync tool that I have.

It works good.

Hey that one looks nice too, and it actually mentions being compatible with a larger range of bikes.
My friend has a Ducati ST3, and then there's a mutual friends' ST1300, and then there's the 550 Spectre I have my eye on.........

I'm with Tony on this one.... Pretty much the best for the $$$...

Here's what I used... oh what a difference this made! :woohoo:



Could be a bit more expensive than the others quoted and certainly larger. But this was the only non-mercury filled type available when I was shopping around. I would assume that they have similar precision and accuracy specifications... but I have never checked.

Oh, and did I mention what a difference this made!

Best of success,
Bill

BTW, these are the vacuum specifications for my bike:



Be sure to check your Service Manual for the specs for your bike.

Best of success,
Bill

sticks or gauges will work on any multi cylinder engine they all do exactly the same job. reading vacuam thats all they do.

Bingo...

Good for setting idle mixtures too.

I made one of my own using about 12 feet of clear vinyl tube, some hose reducers, some small hose tees, a 1"x3"x4' board and some 90W gear lube. Cost ~10 bucks. Works like a damn charm, made synching and idle mixture adjustment a breeze.

How do you use it to set the mixture screws?
