Wanted - Recommendations for Vacuum Balance Gauges (CB750F1)

(1/5) > >>

Zunspec:
Hello,

I am after buying a set of vacuum gauges to balance the carbs on my CB750F1.  eBay has them priced from £33 to £150+ so plenty of choice but what ones are worth buying.  What makes have a decent reputation.

Cheers    Geoff

Hi,

I don't have a great deal of experience. but I have the following:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dellorto-Weber-Mikuni-Kehin-4-Column-Manometer-Morgan-Carbtune-Pro-carb-balancer-/262446445965?hash=item3d1b06f58d:g:OIIAAOxydUJTNXW6

Happy with the build quality, allowed me to balance my carbs fine (400/4).

thanks, Ryan

+1 for the Morgan carbtune pro.  Used mine loads and balanced a lot of my mates bikes too.

I had one of these once.

I didn't find it during my "Barn Clearance" but if I do, you can have it for a tenner plus shipping. There were never any adaptors for the carbs.

Whatever you buy make sure they are fitted with damper valves. The cheap ones (without dampers) bounce all over the place and are very hard to use. The needle will jump with every pulse of the engine. I use these and they work very well, although they are more the high end price wise.   http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorcycle/testing-equipment/sealey-carburettor-synchronizer-vacuum-mini-type-vs209
