Carb Balancer on a budget !

Post by seantopbloke »

i have just balanced my carbs with one of those £16 carb balancers on Ebay, supposedly it was for a CB450DX but i read on this site somewher that you guys have used it, I have never been so impressed by such a simple gadget, my storm runs a smooth as a purring kitten wrap in Andrex after a Dove soap bath, i cant beleive how silky smooth she is.
I normally use a Carbtune 2 but a mate of mine borrowed & then went to work away for 6 months without giving it back, now i got this new one i dont want it back, this £16 effort is all i need for my baby from now on, i haven't even cleaned the plugs yet, if anyone is in any doubt don't be, buy one it is awesome & only takes about 2 minutes :clap:

ebay search for 'carb balancer' or 'vacuum gauges' and there are loads to choose from.
if you use buy it now theres a seller called oilyhands doing nice twin gauges for £30
i got the 4 cyl set nearly new in the auction - lots to choose from :thumbup:

That's the same type/make of balancer I use. As you say very simple but effective. They come from this guy:-
