carb sync tool

[Suzuki mad]

If your ordering a Morgan carb tune its worth ordering a spare set of hoses.

With the kit comes 4 hoses and one peice of clear pipe. This clear pipe has to be cut into 4 peices and fitted into the black pipe to cause a damper on the system. the isntruction tell you to cut 10cm off the black pipes to give you a peice between the damper and the carb adapters. The instructions also state that you need the black pipes as long as possible.

So I bought an extra pack of pipes and cut one pipe into quater sections and left the original pipes full length. That gave me a little extra pipe to play with when attaching the pipework to the carbs

Do they really have genuine Suzuki carb snychronizers? That would be cool.

The gauge is available from Alpha Sports for a mere $223.15.

It's on their page of special Suzuki tools.

Sultan, Thank you very much for the picture that is an excellent help. Since there is three adjustment screws and four carbs is one of the carbs the "main one" that does not get adjusted?

Looking at BikeBandit, your carbs are very similar to my '83 650.

Here's a picture I took while breaking down my carbs for cleaning:


There are 3 screws that mechanical adjust a stop that determine the position of the butterfly valve. In this picture, you're looking from the front of the bike towards the back, so you're seeing where the carbs go into the engine. If the carbs aren't on the bike yet, I'd recommend doing a "bench synch", where you adjust all the screws so that the same sliver of light is viewable at the bottom of each butterfly valve when there's no tension on the throttle linkage.

The screws are pretty sensitive, and even 1/4 turn can make a big difference on a manometer.

Hope this helps.

Yes, carb #3 is the one that the cable pulls on, so all the others are adjusted to it. The factory-recommended sequence is 2, 1, 4.
That is, match #2 to #3, then match #1 to 2&3 (actually about 1/2 cm higher), then match #4 to #1.

Just to add to my earlier post in this thread, I went to Netley on Friday and found a set of old gauges branded Kawasaki. (Broken so of no practical use). I'd have bought them for curiosity value but the guy was on another planet for the price.

So, for all you collectors of trivia, that means all the Jap manufacturers had their own brand carb gauges.

Morgan carbtune

Anything other than a Morgan Carbtune is a waste of money. You didn't ask, but that's my $0.02.

For just a little more than what you'd spend on an inferior, delicate mercury or dial gauge set that will drive you batty, you can get a far superior precision tool that works beautifully and will last a lifetime. There's no comparison.

This is certainly TRUE! I have tried lust about all other dial and mercury / non mercury guages and I am really glad that I found Morgan carbtune.... I bought mine from his website in UK$ and were CHEAPER with shipping than they were to buy from here in Aus.

The quality is certainly outstanding and they not only look, but work professionally as well!

Unless you have the $ to buy a genuine Suzuki one the next best is the Morgan carbtune.

I dont think the genuine ones are anything to write home about. My local dealer synced my carbs just over 18mths ago using the factory ones..... Nothing has changed since then and just before I rebuilt my motor I tried my morgan's out! I was surprised because instantly my bike ran alot nicer than it did even after the sync at the dealer (it was REALLY rough before that too.

[Suzuki mad]

You used the word dealer and that normally means that they charged you for syncing but didn't do it.
