Where abouts are you? Someone may let you borrow one surely you can't be tighter than that. :)

These are surprisingly ok for the price if you only ever balance once in a blue moon.

Hi.also looking for a carbtune.just followed fazafou`s link.lot cheaper than Morgan carbtune.
you actually used one of these fazafou?anyone else used one?
 I usually find that "buy cheap buy twice" is apt.great if this proves it wrong as I'm low on funds this month.

Yeah I've still got it, but also have a carbtune now.

It's by no means a carbtune of course and takes a little getting used to, but will do the job ok and reasonably accurate. Only does two cylinders at a time though so takes a few goes on 4 cylinder engines.

I would recommend getting one if you are likely to only need to sync the carbs rarely. If you're going to be doing them yourself regularly then definitely get a carbtune :)
