    I have been looking at getting one as I am just about to get my carbs back on my bike.
    No mercury to jerk around with sounds good to me.
    Question: If I get a set of the 5mm adapters, can I just leave them installed with vacuum caps to make it easier next time I want to sync?
    The Holy Grail of them all is the one made by Morgan and it uses metal rods not Mercury, so that eliminates the "Oops Factor" when blipping the throttle. http://www.carbtune.com/
    Yes, you can leave the 5mm adapters in place with caps. As a matter of fact, on my bike I made an aluminum port for the left side of the bike where these vacuums are readily available for me to tune and experiment. There are a number of posts on this already. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=105069

      Wow. Thats a great setup you got there cberkeley.
      If you decide to sell a few of those vacuum blocks, I'll definitely take one off your hands. :-D

        You could always make one out of 1/4 tubing like this;

        I was going to try it with four hoses instead of two, four carbs eh?

          Instead of using water or mercury can you use a larger hose - put in a ping pong ball - then attach it to smaller hoses?

            Great idea!

I was going to give it a try and will update when I know more. Anyone else ever hear of such a thing?
            That's a great idea! The next time my bike needs to be synched, I'll take it to the hospital emergency room. I'll just speak Espanol and tell them I'm here illegally so they won't try to bill me.:-D

            If they do a poor job......I'll sue the hell out of 'em!\\/

              Yeah, and if you go to the emregency room they cannot refuse treating your bike because you dont have insurance!
