vacuum gauges - carb synching (k2 naked BS)
Hi,
I want to buy a pair of vac gauges from busters to sync my carbs. During the online buying process I am asked if I require 6mm adaptors. Well, do I? I haven't been on the beast since saturday and it's rain until next sunday.. It's killing.. John |

No, I don't lend tools.

No. The SV has two brass stubs on to which the rubber hoses from the gauges will push, no adaptors required.

If you mean these ones
http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk...l.asp?prod=EVG I've used them and they're crap. Get these: http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=525113 or Carbtune, not used Carbtune but no-one seems to complain about it. I know they're more but the Busters ones I found to be just toys. I know the Davida/Carbtune ones are more, but you can still balance a four with two gauges if you have to, so the fact a set of two costs as much as a cheap set of four doesn't matter really. |

How can you balance 4 carbs with just 2 gauges? The 4 column carbtunes are not much more than the 2 column ones, so would the 4 col be OK to balance 2 carbs? (in case I get a 4 at some future date) Anyone got any doubts about the carbtune mk 2's ?? JohnH |

carbtunes are excellent. to balance 4 cylinders with a 2 gauge is easy, just balance 1&2, then 1&3 then 1&4 and then check the balance between 2&3&4.... Spigot was the word you were looking for! no adapters required. cheapest price for carbtune is their own website, customer service is excellent too
