vacuum gauges

[fishface]

going to give my carbs a bit of tlc can you recomend a good set of gauges to do the job ......

[stormingjoe]

any vacuum gauge should do the job as you are only balancing(equalizing) the carbs, I just use a single gunson damped gauge and connect individually to check, would be easier with two as there would be no arsing about, the other considerations would be how deep your pockets were, oil damped are good, not tried the electronic type, have used cheapy sets before and they tended to bounce the damped ones are better as they give a steady reading.another type are the sliding pins type which have little steel pins in tubes they work well.

I use and would recommend that very same type of carb balancer that Bikerpiker has posted above

IMHO a simple, but very effective inexpensive balancer

IMO go for a set of Morgan Carbtunes

Very accurate and easier to use than vacuum guages, which can have a lot of needle bounce making them difficult to read.

Will last you a lifetime, and good for 2, 3 or 4 cylinders.

A vac gauge can be built for next to nothing and it really works.

Just get a long length of clear plastic tube, cable tie it to a flat bit of wood in a tall thin U spape, add some thin oil and away you go.

It is really sensitive and can even be used on some 4 cylinder engines.

Just attach the two open ends to the manifolds and adjust the screws so the oil level is equall.
