I hait buying stuff I cant see and I guess Dennis Kirks pictures dont realy match up with there products. From what I gather they sell a home mechanic synk tool and a pro sink tool. The discriptions place them at pretty much the same thing but made out of diferent matirials. Has anyone purchased one of these? If so can you please post a picture so I can see what I am buying? If posable a picture of the home Mech tool would be best as it is cheeper than the pro tool and most likly the one I would buy
 
Here ya go.

try a Morgan Carbtune. much better quality and ease of use.
 
Morgan Carbtune II. More money, but much higher quality and wonderful help and support from John Morgan personally if needed. Four stars in every respect.

I'm cheap, so I got the Motion Pro from Cycle Recycle.
Good deal.

The pro tool is plastic and the mec tubes are recessed in the plastic holder, the home is metal has the tubes clamped into a metal frame and are not recessed the pro tool works the same as the home one, and has the same hardware as the home,pro tool is just a little more rugged built for shop use, I have both, don't ask why??
 
Do you have to add the mercury like the motion pro kit?

If your talking about the Carbtune, it does not use Mercury. thats the majic behind it!!
 
Hi :lol:

Carbtune II use steel rods instead of mercury.
They work great..
 
I have the motion pro and it works but I do not like the mercury aspect to it. You can crack the throttle and suck it into the carbs or have it potentially spill if your not careful or the kids could get into it. I may buy one of these units.
What do you guys think of the colortune?
 
Do you mean carbtune or actually colortune. Carbtune sets vacuum levels.
colortune is another instrument for visually adjusting mixture settings.
I have a carbtune II and I wouldnt be without it. Its a big improvement over the cheaper mercury tools. Carbtune does not use mercury. A great aspect of the carbtune is that if anything does happen to it, it can be returned and rebuilt/serviced and replacement fittings for it are available and John answers his email. :-)

I dont have the colortune.

Earlfor,

I switched gears and was curious if anybody actually uses the colortune. I was reading about it on the carbtune website.

I will pick up a carbtune sometime in the future.

Thanks
 
anyone want to let me borrow their Carbtune for a week if I send you a check as a deposit for the amount it cost you?

please... :oops:

Has anyone used a gauge-type carb synchronizer? Cycle Recycle has one on their web site. These don't use mercury, of course. I wonder if these are any better than the suck-the-metal-up-the-tube type.
 
I think there are a couple of downsides to the dial type vacuum guages.
1. the graduations on the guage are very small and that makes it difficult to be accurate. Also, keep in mind you will be reading fine graduations probably from 4 feet away during part of the process of synching.

2. Dial type guages must be calibrated everytime they are used.
That is downright inconvenient.
