    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      I highly recommend the Morgan Carbtune.

      Yeah, it costs a bit more, but it's worth it.

      Today's cost (it's from the UK, so price changes with the exchange rate) is $112.81.

            Probably not. Most of us already have a better one.

            You can buy them at several places for a fixed price.

              Ok....it's time for me to get one.

              I like the vertical setup of the CarbTune and MotionPro over the less expensive horizontal sets, they just look easier to hang and use.

              So, MP or CT......is one more user friendly than the other?

              I would prefer one that comes with the required fittings.

                I looked and must be missing something..... it looks like they are having a special at 64euro and 3euro shipping? Which is $ 91.3874 USD EDIT: I just ordered the combo with colortune ..for $90E which should work out to about $123 delivered to my door

                  The Morgan does come with cheap plastic fittings, but its easy enough to make some good ones in the best length to fit your engine. Other than that it's great, super easy to use. The liquid tube ones will do, but it's a lot more difficult to use, especially when the mercury or whatever they use spills out.

                    Awesome deal! The Motion Pro's get crappy reviews. Fluid spills or gets sucked into the engine.

                      Hi, don't mean to confuse matters further but those gauges look amazingly like,I mean exactly like ones I bought a couple of years ago in UK but in a better box, the ones I got were in a much smaller cardboard box on which it said economy gauges and made in Taiwan. That said they seemed to preform perfectly well and I never had any problems stabilizing the gauge needles as each gauge came with its own individual damper. From what I understand if you need Professional and Quality then it's Morgan but these have done me ok. Hope this helps but pretty sure it won't LOL.

                            $25 more will get you the real thing. Charge a few friends $25 to synch their carbs and it's free.
