imagineer Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Along with my recently re-acquired Bandit 1200, I've got another other inline four cylinder bike projects in my work shop. Both will be getting carburetor tear-down and cleaning; and will eventually need the carbs balanced, so I'm looking at buying a sync/balancer tool. I'm finding carb tool options, some that offer dial gauges, and other that offer graduated columns of mercury (or colored water). I'd like to hear from those that own a carb sync/balancer tool. What type do you use and do you have any recommendations for what to look for when shopping for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Morgan Carbtune II (2) is the only way to go. I have made many mercury, gage and electronic. My final electronic iteration is very accurate and has lots of options, but way outside what any garage tuner would want to pay.

PhilD'oh! Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I have a Carbtune and like it fine, but I still use my homemade unit more. Mine has much better fidelity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I like my carbtune. Bought when the euro tanked. Works great and has a nice case to store it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I use a motion pro tool. Nothing fancy but won't break the bank. Has worked great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 4 hours ago, Isaac's Papa said: If I didn't avoid carburetors like the plague, I'd buy a Carbtune. Since I don't touch them often, my MotionPro carb sticks have been adequate. You still have to sync throttle bodys. The MotionPro mercury sticks worked great, the newer blue fluid type not so much.

imagineer Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I ended up buying a CarbTune 2. Found a new unopened one on Ebay for $60 w/ free shipping (it also included a goofy looking long screwdriver) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
