what is the best carb sync tool for the basic shop

Anyone here have a favorite carb sync tool they prefer..i know that garage show clip a while back showed em using dial vacum gauges..i rememebr everyone using "carb stxx years ago....

i want a decent set and dont wanna spend too much...sound familiar...i lknow often a certain amount and below and i end up wasting money and having to buy better stuff anyways,am hoping to avoid that by asking you guys....

I use a set of gauges just like those in the link below and they work fine. I had a cheap set that were not very good (1 gauge was way off).

Gauges

mna i was looking at those too...is that the exact brand you bought and like...for 100+ i wanna get a review here kzr.....i hope...thanks Ed

craig,
100 bucks for those is a deal.....see if sportingforless.com
has them cheaper or what he wants.....i had a set i sold on ebay a couple of months back........

sold because your trying to lighten up...or sold cause you upgraded to a better set.....

i only wanna buy these once....that said good enough to do accurate reads and that hooks up nice and comes with enough hose and gear maybe.....should be good enough for me......thanks so much guys....keep it up...anyone think these will be good enough to do kz samll cc gpz...thumpers ect....

i'm not opposed to spending 150 if it will be a great set right?


but like in my old days trades,we'd tell anew guy...you dont need a 50 dollar hammer to work for the summer.... but,hey kid dont buy a 5 dollar one either...get a good one for 25-30 and learn to swing it......buy one of these...and only this(show him my hammer ect)...and the next day he'd come back with a 5 dollar hammer....lol

example.......lol


so i dont know shyt about sync tools......


just to repeat...those old school carb styx are yesterdays tools?


i am not being cheap here ...i will spring.....i just have 0% knowledge here.... thanks so much

i'll check later and buy in the morning...3-5 hrs sleep the last few days and am fadeing...peace

The gauges in the eBay listing look just like mine. I got mine from my buddy when he wrecked his Valkyrie and bought a Harley, I don’t know where he got them or what he paid. I tested them by hooking them up and writing down the readings at idle then switching the hoses to different carbs to see if the readings remained consistent regardless of which gauge was attached. I had done this same test with El Cheepo gauges I had before and it showed 1 gauge read high no matter which carb it was attached to. Here are some pics of mine so you can see the dials better than the eBay listing:

Morgan Carbtune also enjoys a good reputation.

Good Fortune!

sabercycle sell a mercury carb stick with adjustment tool included for 66 dollars

nice tip..plummen hadf me looking at a set of j.c whitney vacume dail ones a while back too i just remebered..have you used the cyber cycle set.....i'm still leaning towards the dail type but i know that folks have done good work with carb stick types too....price is not the biggest factor ...as much as having the right stuff with it...i would not really know without hindsight which one had the righht stuff...thanks for that tip stoneman

I have a set of k&L that are so so but I have also used these and really like them.
