I've used them and they're crap. Get these:

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.

I was meaning those but you've put me right off them! Thanks, I hate buying rubbish. I looked at the blurb for the davida and also the carbtune mark 2. I'm leaning towards the carbtunes together with the extension tubes which you can leave connected.

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 ??

Got them and love 'em!!! Got the 4 line one just because if I am balancing a 4 cylinder it saves a lot of faffing about and skin stays on my knuckles
