Emgo Carburetor Synchronizer ??? Any reviews / comments?

[midnightrider]

I'm trying to determine whether to get a Morgan Carbtune or an Emgo Carb Synchronizer....
They are both just under $100 in most places.


Any thoughts? Any reviews of either one?

I use this: http://www.aerostich.com/twinmax-synchronizer.html
says it can be used with fuel-injected engines with 2, 3, or 4 cylinders.

Thank you.

I don't see how that one could be used on a 4 though...without the process taking all day because of the need to constantly disconnect and reconnect the vacuum hoses. Any thoughts?

Carbtune would be a WAY better investment than those EMGO dials. Most people will tell you mercury tubes (or other vacuum tubes) are superior to the dials, especially EMGO dials.

EMGO is great for replica headlight buckets and cheap mirrors, but I wouldn't bother much with any 'tools'. That being said, I'm pretty sure I have a set of those dials in my toolbox. I don't use them.

I'm assuming the carb tuning is the last thing you're working on? Timing / valves etc. all adjusted properly first?

Google "$1.55 Manometer" and make your own. I did and it's the best (yes - I've used mercury / dial gauges in the past...)

I've heard a lot of people making theirs, this is what i will probably do when it comes time for me to sync. Manometers are pretty simple.

My bike is still in pieces from a rebuild. I'm just looking ahead. I used a friend's Morgan Carbtune last time and it was easy.

I think I might try this.


Thanks for the advice!
