What about accuracy and ease of use, among other things?

I have a Morgan carbtune and its a very nice tool. With the current exchange rates the price is not much more than the motion pro tool.

The carb tune is not a manometer type, it has 4 independent vacuum gauges, they are a slide type and easy to read. It is a nice tool to have but you can of coarse do the same job with yard stick and some tubing from the hardware store for a lot less money. With the carbtune you can use it as a generic vacuum gauge for automotive work if you need it.
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Dead accurate from what I've read and should stay that way for many years...... piece of cake to use too. ;)

Ok, but I should be able to get the same result with the Motion Pro, if properly setup/calibrated...correct?

I have the Carbtune tool and it works great! Very easy to use and set up, no guess work.

No worries about pulling too much vaccuum and sucking in fluid, just put in a reducer if you are pulling too much.

I havent tried the other product you mentioned.

The Carbtune is one of the best things i have ever bought. Easy as hell to use and very quick - i can check , and if needed , adjust carbs with fuel in bowls in 5 minutes - extremely happy with them - used to have the old round gauge needle jobs - they are a pain in the ass to use in comparison. Cost me about $180 for Pro II model about 5 years ago ;)

The Morgan works great and requires no setup. Just hook up the 4 hoses and you are set. As to the Motion Pro tool. :sick: :sick:
