Agree with Charles about the Carbtune-II. I have always used an old Bill
Bowman 4
guage carb synch tool. After 25+ years the guages were showing their age
so I
replaced them with new vacuum guages from Holley (the carb people).
Someone makes
them for them but I bought them from Summit racing under Holley part #
26-501.
The only reason I'm offering this info is that some of you may have
these types
of guage synchronizers, and when you need new individual guages these
Holley ones
are dead accurate and reasonable for this type of part at about $22.00
each. When
used with good dampers they are hard to beat.
The Carbtune-II however is better value for money than anything on the
market in
a 4 guage synch tool. I bought one off their web site and had it
delivered from
Ireland to Australia in 4 days!
The only difference with me and I would suggest you do the same, is I
ordered
their optional "stronger" dampers to be supplied in addition to the
standard
dampers. The dampers are only pieces of plastic tube in different I.D to
restict
air pulses at different rates when inserted into the tubes attached to
your Maxes
vacuum outlet tubes on each manifold boot.
The stronger dampers keep the individual steel tubes significantly
steadier so
finer adjustment is definately possible. This is definately true of a
stock
carbed V-Max.
I also tried the Carbtune on several different bikes and found the
standard
dampers more suited to some and the stronger dampers better on others. I
suppose
cam overlap, engine configuration (in line or V4 etc.), even manifold
design can
determine what will work best.
Order both types and you'll cover ALL possibilties, it's a great tool
which costs
peanuts and doesn't have that stupid Mercury to slither everywhere.
