        I bought mine in 81 and it's still truckin'
        There is not a lot to go wrong with them.

            Another vote for the Morgan Carbtune.

            Pays for itself in one use, easy to use, and no fluids or crappy dial indicators to calibrate.

              These guages are a PITA. You have to sync each one with one cylinder before you start to make sure the gauges are calibrated & then you can get around to doing all four. By that point you'd be done and packing up with the Morgan.

                  Calibrating them doesn't have to be that bad. I made a little manifold to hook all 4 gauges to my Mightyvac bleeder at once. I'd still rather have a Carbtune though.

                      I have the Motion Pro with the blue stuff in the tubes, most people don't like them, I think. I posted pictures of mine in action when I had to re-jet with the 4 into 1 exhaust. My bike is running good.

                        I have an old set of Honda brand vacuum dial gauges that still work great and very easy to use.

                          I can vouch for the carbtune as well. Bought one as a complete novice, worth every penny.
