yamagrl Posted August 9, 2016 Share #27 Posted August 9, 2016 Carbtune is no doubt your best choice in the hundred dollar range. That other one is only few dollars less. http://www.carbtune.com/ YG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted August 17, 2016 Share #29 Posted August 17, 2016 Anyone know what the specs are on the tubes themselves? I have to replace the tubes on different manometers I have at hand.. Local shop doesn't carry this size.. (weird?!) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted August 17, 2016 Share #30 Posted August 17, 2016 From Morgan's website:http://www.carbtune.com/carbaccs.html [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]4 x 1 metre lengths £8 [h=3]Nitrile hoses[/h] Comes in 1 metre lengths for connecting gauges to carburettors. Will work with any gauges. 5mm id x 8mm od. This is not a fuel hose and should not be used for a fuel supply. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted August 17, 2016 Share #31 Posted August 17, 2016 Yup!! The Morgan is made in England, therefore the lines are metric! Hey, just thought of something, wonder if the company is the same company that made the Morgan automobile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamsie Posted August 24, 2016 Share #33 Posted August 24, 2016 anyone got any tips for getting stubborn vacuum tubes off the nipples without damaging anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted August 25, 2016 Share #34 Posted August 25, 2016 move the clamps off the nipple and twist the hoses when they're good and warm. Then replace them. Once they stick they aren't going to seal up very good again. The nipples should be metal in most cases. Just split the the hose on the nipple with a razor knife and pull them off with pliers if they are too stubborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9cottage Posted August 25, 2016 Share #35 Posted August 25, 2016 i find the vacume tubes are like the old chinese finger traps if you use a small pair of pointy nose pliers and leaver them of from the end they come easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyper316 Posted August 26, 2016 Share #36 Posted August 26, 2016 Did just over 100 miles today. Initial MPG is up considerably! I went from about 34MPG to 40MPG! This was my 8,000 mile service. I have also increased my tire pressure to 45PSI Rear tire and 40PSI front tire. Stay Tuned! I really appreciate all of everyone's help. This forum is better than any advise I have been getting from the dealership. The head mechanic at the dealership told me the carb synch only served to make the bike idle better and little else. Wait until I see him again! I will surely let him know how off base he was! I know that is flat out lie for one why do the charge $100 to adjust the carbs......

snyper316 Posted August 28, 2016 Share #37 Posted August 28, 2016 You know it amazes me how some places have ppl that work for them that don't know jack. Prolly why I like motorcycle boneyard places working on my bike and like going to small auto parts stores. You go to AutoZone and they try telling you that you don't need the part but a different one that has nothing to do with what your working on.. I do my best to go in while the ppl who know what they r doing r working just like going to Lowe's... Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lug Nut Posted August 31, 2016 Share #38 Posted August 31, 2016 Got my Morgan Carbtune with pouch and it was $94 delivered. Used it last week and it makes a big difference....like installing new plugs in place of old fouled out ones for comparison. Once you identify the screws to adjust it's pretty easy. I will probably don't his every oil change. I notice the bike seems to Rev a little higher before wanting to shift, feels tigjter. Sounds better, snoother, just better overall. For the money it's silly not to have one compared to buying some chrome doo dad or other cosmetic piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scifiman Posted December 19, 2016 Share #43 Posted December 19, 2016 Carbtune, something else I need to add to my purchase list for the Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted December 19, 2016 Share #44 Posted December 19, 2016 Another good tool is a Colortune plug for adjusting the richness, which is a lot less expensive than an exhaust gas analyzer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted December 20, 2016 Share #46 Posted December 20, 2016 After reading this 'classic' thread once again, this reminds me to perform another carb synch on my Venture. The last time I did it was around the end of summer (2016). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
