Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Product works as it should. Recommend both product and supplier. Will save you a ton of money by avoiding the motorcycle dealerships.

The gauges are good and reliable, but will need to be calibrated. Unscrew the clear guage faceplates to calibrate. Place the small white valves in line with each tube and tighten to control vacuum during carb sync.

An inexpensive but workable solution to synchronizing carburetors on outboard engine or motorcycle. Used on a honda gl1200 goldwing. Bought this to replace an old carb stix setup.

Inexpensive compared to digital vacuum analyzers, accurate and easy to use. It makes an otherwise frustrating task into a simple one. Sync is very straightforward and easily accomplished with this tool.



Cons

One of the gauges could not be 'calibrated' or 'zeroed' with the adjustment screw. Gauges are good but the brass vaccun line connectors are trash and 2 failed after the first use. It feels little cheap though, so i think the price is a bit high.

    The hoses were the wrong size i needed but i found some adapters and hose at the local ace hardware to make it work

    Some reviews complain about the sync tool and i would suggest that those users didnt take the time to learn how a sync tool works


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The trick is finding that precise spot on the flow valve between closed and a bouncing needle and the space is probably just a 12 degree of rotation of the valve


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Once the needles are stable a carb sync takes about 23 minutes
