I have been using my home made manometer for a while now when tuning my carbs but I was hoping someone could recommend one with nice gauges or digital display. I do this enough that I wish to invest in a little better piece of equipment. I'm tired of having to keep the liquid in the tube

I too got tired of the $4 carb syncronizer set up and learned to balance carbs by my ear, thanks in part to a bit to toutalge from Duane a few years ago at the B.works Forum Rally. Maybe he'll write it up or already has on his website...

I don't think the balancing "by ear" translates well into writing. It's the sort of thing that is best learned in person.


If I go down to Mono lake and measure the temperature, would that make my thermometer a monometer?

Only if you threw it away after taking the temperature.

I've got one of those things and it's easy to use and does the job well.

Thanks a lot! I will give that a try.

Oh well that link to the harmonizer vacuum multi-tool currently sets at about 38 pages or so of threads, read them all and at the end it says he is suspending further orders LOL. I should have read the book from back to front this time. I am still unclear on even how to order one. I suppose I will keep looking at the thread, thanks.

Hey I did find this from a buddy that frequents the suzuki forums.

It is funny because I actually talked him out of buying one when I was working on his Suzuki 4 cylinder and I told him I would build my own manometer to tune the four carbs. I tuned all four with the home made set up but I got tired of the fluid sucking into the carbs and all that mess of tubing everywhere. I want to step up a bit to more of a compact model that maybe I can take on the bike if I want.

I ordered the kit with the colortune as well. It will be neat to see the actual combustion color and maybe vary my main jet sizes some if they need it.
