    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb Sync Tools

Hey,
Quick question. Wanted to get peoples opinions on which carb sync tool is the best. Let me know what you think!
 
Morgan Carbtune and Gunson Colortune. I bought an ebay set of dial sync gauges and the only good thing about them is the aluminum hard case and and the huge assortment of adapters. The needles on the gauges bounce up and down and make it tough to sync.

edit: moments after posting last message, I went to carbtune.com and purchased the carbtune pro. I'm an idiot, since a little over a week ago I ordered the Colortune pro (3 plug set) from them! Should have gotten the carbtune too.

I'll give that a try. The adapters that came with it are steel and taper down to where hose slips on. I though that would create enough restriction, but I guess not. What do you recommend for a restrictor. I'm headed to the big city in a few min so I can look around

In a pinch, take a vacuum connector, mix up some JB weld and place it inside the connector. then when it's hardened, drill a very small hole (.032? or smaller) through the JB weld from end to end.
 
That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I may try something along those lines, I have some small aluminum piping I can use. I'll make several sets with different diameter holes and see how it works. Thanks!
 
Hi,

Yes, I love my Carbtune. (See my little write-up.) It uses "dampeners" in the vacuum lines. See their instructions...

This is what the restrictors (dampeners) look like...

Great pics, that gives me an idea. Anyone smoke a pipe? Maybe I could use some of the filters for my Savinelli dry system pipe!

I seen some setups where people use inline valves and close them until the pulses stop. eh. im not sure how effective that would be. just a suggestion.
 
valves would be interesting. What if your restrictor devices are inconsistent with one another? for instance, holes that are drilled aren't exactly the same, or inserted pieces aren't the same size.
wouldn't that throw off your readings
and create problems?
