Hard to beat Davida Vacuum Gauges, but expensive. Without doubt the best gauges out there.Not a great fan of the Morgan Carbtune, they have to be held exactly straight upright to read correctly, not always easy to do. They can get a bit sticky over time.
I hang mine off the handlebars, gravity does the rest :lol

I had an old cheap set for about 20 years and used to lend to fellows if they needed them, unfortunately at one stage I never got them back.I cannot remember who I gave them to last and anyone I asked said they had given them back.
Nobody gets the Davida set, if you want a bike checked bring it to me, but they do not leave my place.

Christ. are they worth that? ive got two multis with carbs so I do wanna decent set xjrs apparently need doing quite often too
Ive found i need to do my FZ6 S2 injected 3 to 4 times a year, idle gets lumpy and the throttle a little snatchy.

That said, I used Morgan Carbtune gauges on all the Fazers I worked on and must have done 500 plus carb synchs without any of the sticking problems mentioned. I found the Carbtune more than accurate enough and easy to use, too.
I think you have to ask how many times a year you expect to use whichever gauge you choose to buy and weigh that against the cost and reported durability of each. For a DIY home mechanic, the Carbtune would be my choice. :)

there was a set of davidas, old but apparently sound, on the bay for sixty sovs. they turn up tomorrow...hopefully they will be ok. also tret meself to one of those hang up fuel supply bottles with a petrol tap.After years of foccing around with petrol holders of different I eventually bought a hang up fuel bottle with tap, a great piece of kit, the first few time times I used it I wondered why I didn't buy one years before. No more petrol leaking or carbs running out of petrol while balancing them
The folding bicycle stand is great of holding it and the vacuum gauges.
Ogri48, Did the Davidas arrive?

Where do you get your fuel cell from. The only cheap ones I can find will take ages to arrive as from India. Thanks in advance.
