Title: Best Carb Sync Tool
Post by: z-dna on February 18, 2006, 04:04:54 AM

I'm taking a poll.  Sorry if you may be seeing this for the second time.  I just can't decide.  

What is the best carb sync tool?  These are the three that I am considering:

Motion-Pro Synchromate (http://www.motionpro.com/parts/tools/product/synchromate_2/)

Morgan Carbtune (http://www.carbtune.com)

TwinMax Synchronizer (http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/TwinMax-Synchronizer-p-16947.html)

Have you had any experience with these?  I hear good things about the carbtune, but I am inclined to think electronic is better.

Thanks for your opinions!!

I turned into a real poll for you.

I don't have any experience with any of them. I'm too cheap. I have the Motion-Pro Economy tool (http://www.motionpro.com/parts/tools/product/economy_carb_tuner/) and picked it up for ~$30 a few years ago. I see they've gone up quite a bit since them.

I also am cheap but borrowed a motion-pro mercury tube style from a fellow rider on my "other" forum.  It worked great.  Probably the same one red has.  Just hang it from the handlebar and go to it.  Very easy to read too.
   My basic point is the fancy ones are nice but if you're not a professional mechanic I doubt they are worth the money.  After all you'll sync you're carbs at the most, anually and even then that's being pretty anal.

I got my Carb-tune used for about the same price.
