Carb sync tool opinions
Now that I am the proud owner of 3 GS I have decided to ditch my homemade carb sync tool and invest in a real tool. My question is which one should I get. Motion pro seems ok but as an avionics technician the vacume gauges look better. They're both about the same cost, my only concern is technically the gauge set should be calibrated where the motion pro gets balanced every use.

I have the dubious pleasure of owning all but the analog gauges (although I have used them before). I have the MotionPro unit with the blue fluid, a set of true mercury sticks (with SIX columns ), the Morgan Carbtune and the official Suzuki ball gauge.
I don't use the MotionPro unit because one of the columns has a leak, meaning I only have three columns available.
The Suzuki gauge looks good, but is a bit of a pain to use, as it has to be calibrated every time before use.
The Carbtune is a great unit and is the perfect tool for portable use.
In the shop, though, I will reach for the mercury sticks first. Not only does it not need calibrating, it is the standard to which any other gauge is calibrated. They are self-damping, so no restrictors are necessary. Just don't tip it past horizontal so mercury falls out, and it is the perfect tool.
My recommendation? Get the Carbtune.
