    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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?

Just read through the articles and they make it sound pretty simple... which means it's gonna be a pain. However it seems pretty straight forward so I'll order the parts and get to it.
 
Is the morgan carbtune really that much better than the Motion Pro? I probably won't use it much so saving a few dollars and getting the Motion Pro sooner would be nice. If the Morgan is that much better I will pull the trigger on it.

Are there any good places here in the U.S. to order the Morgan?

First, that would depend on which Motion Pro set you are talking about. They used to have a set of mercury gauges, but I don't think they are available any more. They have another set that uses blue fluid, which work OK. They also have a set of analog dial gauges that seem to work OK for some people.

How long do you plan on keeping your bike? Valve adjustment is recommended every 3-4000 miles. If you adjust any of the valves, you should re-sync the carbs. You will need that gauge set to check them again and again, every 3-4000 miles. :-\\\

Personally, I would go with the Carbtune, but I won't be getting one until my set of mercury 'sticks' dies.
I have had them for 34 years so far, and they are showing no signs of getting ready to let me down.

Dunno about the old mercury tool, but I had the current Motion Pro and it sucked.

Even with the restrictors, the blue fluid shot to the top immediately on the first use, making it impossible to read. Motion Pro sent me a new bottle of fluid, but said that their tool often runs into problems with older large inline-4 engines, which would have been useful information BEFORE I bought the thing.

Ultimately, I bought the Carbtune, and that tool works perfectly.
