    The Carbtune is also a one time purchase and has a one-year warranty.

    Not sure what to make of your last statement, but I will be happy to take your twenty cents (pair o'dimes).

    When I get "Beast" up and on again, I challenge you to a synch off Steve.
    I'll come your way and we can settle this proper. We can even get an independent GS'er in the area to run the clock!
    What say you to a carb duel??!!!!!

                The challenge should be quite hilarious.

                    May I please have the ticket concession?
                    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

                        Another vote for Carbtune. Simple, easy, cheap, accurate. Wish they made a 6 cylinder version though.

                            Come on down, you can use my set.

                            I bought a 6-cylinder set of mercury sticks for my KZ1300 back in 1979.
                            Don't remember the brand, something like "GT Syncro", but they still work.

                                Likely a bit of a drive I'd need a fresh sync by the time I made it back home


                                I've been thinking about building a 6 tube set to mount on the wall of my shop. I can use the carbtune, but I prefer a tube per cylinder approach.
