Wanna buy a carb sync tool... is this one any good

Found a set that looks a lot like this selling in the UK... Think it's by company called Sealey.

This one is from a seller in the US... Could it be the same as the one I see in the UK?

The seller's ad says it works for Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda. No mention of Kawasaki.

Anyone know this tool?

I'd imagine it will fit the vacuum ports on the Kawasaki's. It looks to have many adapters, so finding one(actually 4) to fit should not be a problem.

The old days of using the carb stick vacuum sync tool, with it somewhat dangerous Mercury are long gone, with the EPA comming down on Mercury exposure.

They look a lot like the set my friend gave me when he wrecked his old bike and bought a new fuel injected one. The set my friend gave me works great, so if the set you're looking at is the same you should be pleased with them. Here's my set:

Just ordered the Morgan Carbtune Monday. Cost 60 British pounds shipped. That's $92.90 U.S. but my credit card company charged me another $2.50 or so currency conversion fee. I read the carbtune or the motion pro version are more accurate than gauges. Although i understand for the job at hand, gauges are more than accurate enough. But for the price and reviews, I decided to go with the carbtune. Twelve month warranty as well. I am hoping I made the right decision.
