#Motionpro manometer pro#
I couldn't wait that long and I got a very good deal on a Motion Pro Manometer Style. It's not the cheapest, but it's decent and very highly regarded by many people. The Mogan Carbtune (the English one), was my first choice. I've no personal business relationship with any of the vendors named above.OK - no hijack intended but what sync gauge is best? I know there are a couple - one from England (if it wasn't looted last night) which is a bit pricey but probably worth the cost? And another domestic one a little cheaper.

#Motionpro manometer skin#
The Doctor, is the well known moto-Dermatologist who can remove the blemished skin on vintage English and continental motorcycles and restore the original inner and outer beauty as intended by the maker. He enjoys sipping vintage tequila in the warmth of the southwestern desert after taking periodic blasts between the rocks and cactus on a well worn Rickman Zundapp. The Doctor, AKA, Dick Casey, is the crusty sometimes Vashon Island Moto-Cardiologist who whiles away the winter in the shade of a suauro cactus. I have no business interest in any of the vendors mentioned. Morgan Carbtune is made in England and has a very low shipping rate to the US. Each of the vendors I mentioned has excellent detailed instructions for their synchronizer at their web sites. With a bit of practice, you can synch a twin in about 10 minutes. A brand new top of the line carb synchronizer hooked up to worn out or dirty carbs will not produce a great running bike. The key to obtaining a well running and synchronized bike is good tools and good practices, as well as all parts in proper working order. An additional mixture adjustment may be needed. When the manifold pressure (vacuum) is identical for each inlet tract, the carbs are synched. Most all multi-cylinder engines have some sort of port allowing one to connect a gage and measure the vacuum for each cylinder between the inlet valve and throttle slide/butterfly, I.E.
Idle mixture does come into play, but lets look at the basics. Very easy to use! The principle of synchronizing is to ensure each carburetor is opening and closing the same amount as every other carburetor on the engine. Pulling a vacuum causes each rod to rise in the tube, and you can readily compare the height of each column is a single glance. There are four clear plastic tubes with precision metal rods inside each tube. It is a mechanical equal to a mercury filled manometer. Frankly, I like the Mercury filled manometers, but they are fragile and spilled mercury is a big concern as are mercury vapors. The 4 columns are a fraction of an inch apart, they are very easy to read, sensitive, and do not require calibration like electronics or vacuum gages. Mechanical vacuum gages were never my favorite, reading the 4 pointers spread out across a 2 foot wide panel seemed tedious. However, TwinMax has a good reputation in some circles. The TwinMax will only handle the twins, and I never really warmed up to the small dial or having to fiddle with the sensitivity knob. Lets focus on eliminating the least desirable types of synchronizers first. Additionally, I have used a 4 gang mechanical vacuum gage. I have owned a TwinMax, a MotionPro mercury filled 4 column manometer, and recently bought a 4 column Morgan Carbtune Pro. Since you have mentioned both a twin and 4 cylinder motorcycles, a TwinMax electronic synchronizer will not suffice. Synchronizing carburetors is not particularly difficult, but you need special tooling and a good understanding of the process. RX Hello Carlos: You have one of my favorite bikes.
Do I really need something like a TwinMax? What do you recommend for gage to help take the difficulty out of the job? Help me Doctor. Dear Doctor, What is the best way to synchronize multi cylinder bikes with two (or more) carburetors? I have always struggled with trying to get my CB 77 running properly and am about to finish restoration of a tasty 75 Honda CB550.
