Hey,
Does anyone have suggestion for a good but not too expensive carburetor synchronizer?

There are lots of threads on google for making a homemade manometer. It looks pretty easy and cheap, just some clear tubing, fittings, a board, and some liquid to fill it.
Yeah I found instructions on how to build my own, but I thought maybe since it is my first bike I would get a quality instrument, to be on the safe side.
find someone like me who has a unisyn laying around collecting dust.
Well I'm still using Motion Pro mercury sticks....bought'em 20+ years ago. Can't get them now i understand, now it mechanical gages or home spun manometers...
Well I found some Motion Pro Sync Pro, are these like what you use 44Dwarf, but without mercury? How good do you find your mercury sticks?
I've seen it done fairly accurately with a couple plastic soda straws...stick one in each carb throat, with the end slipped under the slide. As the throttle is opened slowly and the slide starts to move, the straw will 'twitch'. Adjust the cables so the straws twitch at the same time.
In reply to fritzsch: my old merc stick are great and repeatable i'll offten swap the hoses to double check my work there never off (more then i left'm), but i test anyway
holy crap! $107 and you have to buy thr adapters!! think the sticks were $40 when i got'em and they came with a bag of adapters
I tried the tubes and bottles on my SV. What a mess, I was fortunate to find a fellow enthusiast in the group I regularly rode with who let me use a proper gauge set. My try a local forum if possible for a loaner?
In reply to 44Dwarf:
They come with 5mm adapters which I believe is what my bike uses. I was not enthused with that price though, allegedly I can get it 15% off but still...I am going to look around for sure and search used.
In reply to former520:
Going to check some forums but I want to have my own set.

I made my own set using the tubing-filled-with-ATF trick. Only real problem is that you have to use a lot of tubing compared to the mercury style as the liquid moves a helluva lot more than the mercury would with pressure changes.
It was very simple to build, involved buying only a yardstick, some aquarium tubing and valves, and I made my own adapters out of nuts and bolts. Probably cost $10? It seemed to work quite well. I don't think a $150 instrument would make much of a difference in practice if any.
What, $27 is too much for you?? Bought one to sync the GSXR throttle bodies on the Locost.
