Morgan carbtune carb balancers
I have these morgan carbtune vaccum gauges:

Problem is i lost the attachments that come with it. I need to balance my vfr carbs and having had a look at the carbtune website i dont know which attachments i need to use to balance my carbs. Here's the carbtune page:

Anyone know which attachments i need?
Thanks.

Re: Morgan carbtune carb balancers
You need the 4 hoses and 4 nylon adaptors (for temp fitting), I think they are 5mm for the VFR, just check by measuring one of the blanking screws. I don't know if you get the thin clear hose with the 4 hoses to make the restricter to stop the guages fluttering.

Re: Morgan carbtune carb balancers
Morgan sell all the bits on their website
I broguth 4 new nylon hoses (with restrictors) and 4 brass adaptors for £15 delivered about 2 weeks ago
http://www.carbtune.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Click on Order Shopping Cart near the bottom, then Click on Carbtune accessoires.
You want to order 4 x Nitrile Hoses, select the one with the restrictors pipe added (extra £1)
That is £7.00
Then you want to order 4 x 5mm Nylon adaptors for £5.00 (or brass, their more expensive)
Free delivery.
When they come you need to make the hoses.
Cut approx 10cm off the end of each hose, then cut the small plastic pipe into 4 equal sections and join the hoses back together with each little piece.
The part with the join in connects to the engine, the other end connects to the carbtune ^_^

Re: Morgan carbtune carb balancers
Yeah, there really good for a general home tune. (you'll need a gas anaylzer et al to achieve better results)
They dont' do one small enough for the NC30/35 though

Re: Morgan carbtune carb balancers
I've suggested them to the quad-bike dealership I worked at over summer. We spent a many a fruitless hour adjusting mixture!

Re: Morgan carbtune carb balancers
Thanks for the info guys. I think i'll be going for the brass adaptors (£8 ones, spend a bit more for longevity me thinks) and the little clear tubes as mine arent in the best nick.

How about the scotoiler adaptors?
