Carb Balancer kit

(1/3) > >>

nairb:
I am finally looking at getting one of these carb Balancer kits.  One of the 4 gauge ones.

It seems that there are a few sets of 4 gauge ones on "that" auction site.  Starting at 25 quid.

So my question is..... Is there much difference between the 25 quid sets and the 60 quid ones.  I guess the more expensive ones are more accurate?.

Or are the cheaper ones good enough.

Bought a set of Morgan Carbtune mercury gauges over 30 years ago, they never need calibrated.
They do 2,3 and 4 cylinder engines, carb or fuel injection.

The cheaper analogue type gauges often get knocked around and go easily out of sync, don't waste your cash...

Word of advice anything less than the Sealey set aint worth it, i bought the cheap blue steel ones with clear tube plastic damper taps and brass adaptors, gave up on first use and spent out on the sealey ones which are the nearest i have ever found to genuine Honda and have worked superbly plus come with multiple adaptors and proper hose.
Ebay item no 353913897586 is the chapest but £137, gone up £30 in 6 years

Laverda Dave:
See if you can get a set of used Davida gauges, lovely bit of kit. I bought a set on ebay for £50 and they work a treat.

Oddjob:
God no Dave, the Davida is an awful bit of kit. I bought one when I came out of the trade so I could keep doing foreigners but one gauge went out of sync with the rest, the damping is automatic and doesn't really work. I used them 2 times and threw them away in the end, needles bouncing all over the place etc, wasn't even worth keeping to use the 3 gauges left.


The Sealey kit looks like my present ones except mine are black and came from the states. They are as Bryan says a close copy to the genuine Honda gauges. Not as good but close.
