vzuden Posted December 28, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2016 I have been using this on all multi carb bikes for several years: Emgo 84-68594. A google search will produce several places selling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk 10spd You wouldn't want it if they did. I have a Carbtune I no longer have a use for as I don't have a Venture any more and I don't work on other peoples bikes any more either. $75 postage paid.With case.

Carbon_One Posted December 28, 2016 Share #13 Posted December 28, 2016 I use a set similar to the Emgo gauges Here's a link on EBay -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-MOTORCYCLE-4-CYLINDER-CARBURETOR-SYNCHRONIZER-TUNER-5MM-6MM-/302156960566?hash=item4659f55336:g:bRoAAOSwo4pYRDVy&vxp=mtr I've found these to be a bit more accurate than the Carb Tune type and very easy to use This link even comes with a carry case. What I have is more like the following kit I have, though mine didn't come with the tire spoons. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vacuum-Carburetor-Synchronizer-carb-sync-Gauge-3-Spoon-Motorcycle-Tire-Levers-/391655319777?hash=item5b3079e8e1:g:tbQAAOSwZJBX~Uke Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted December 29, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 29, 2016 Myself I have the gauges but for my tastes, they are not sensitive enough IMHO for super close balancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted December 29, 2016 Share #15 Posted December 29, 2016 Myself I have the gauges but for my tastes, they are not sensitive enough IMHO for super close balancing... You need the gauge sets with adjustable valves to get fluctuations steady. Jay / Ragtop did several carb syncs at Don's MD last year using my gauges. Thought your bike was one of them? For what its worth IMO gauges are still better than sticking sticks. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted December 29, 2016 Share #16 Posted December 29, 2016 No, it is not an issue of them bouncing around, if anything they are a little sluggish and read low. Etcswjoe did my carbs with his "sticks" at MD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabicheka Posted December 29, 2016 Share #17 Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) My offer still stands... Hey Bob.. .Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Becky. I also have a Carbtune I had ordered from England and never even opened the box. Don't need it anymore since I now have fuel injected bike. Same price. Can hold it for you if you still need one,till we meet again. Don't like the mailing hassles. ( Custom forms etc). Abdul.

Flyinfool Posted December 29, 2016 Share #18 Posted December 29, 2016 Don't multi cylinder EFI bikes still need to be synced, unless they are running a common throttle body setup? The sync only gets all of the throttle plates to open at the same time so all cylinders are working equally has nothing to do with fuel air mixture. :confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted December 29, 2016 Share #19 Posted December 29, 2016 The carbTune is sold to 10spd. ASAP he lets me know the address where he wants it sent,it will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vzuden Posted December 30, 2016 Share #21 Posted December 30, 2016 The vacuum gauges are also able to be calibrated. I used a new set a few times and wasn't really happy with the results. Then I realized they could be calibrated and that made a huge difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry I also did a carb sync with carbon one's gage set, much better then carb tune. with that being said, the carb tune gets the job done. But not as accurate.
