WIMPUS Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi, I've got a carb balancer of Gunson, but it doesn't work that great :/ Seen another one, but don't know if it works good :/ Something like this one (don't know if the nozzle fits for hs4's .. ) http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/Dellorto-Weber-synchrometer-carb-balancer-tool-made-in-Germany-not-China-/290682796527?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43ae0b79ef&_uhb=1Anyone an idea ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 What problems are you having with the Gunson one ?Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I use a gunson one and it works fine, the one your looking at is much better but the gunson one should be fine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxbodger Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The gunson one works fine, but the orifice adjuster is very finicky- I would persevere with it for a while....for years I thought I could do a good enough job by ear until I bought one, learned to use it, and found out how far out the human ear can be!

piman Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hello Wim, the balancer you link to is rather large for HS4 S.U.s (unless you have ram pipes fitted), OK for HS6. Here's a couple of alternatives:- http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.asp?pCode=090.696Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I have this one: http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.asp?pCode=090.043(Edelbrock brand name) It works fine, (except a lumpy cam means the idle is not that consistent so the floating ball moves a bit).However, it only fits to one carb at a time. I would try to find one that does both together - like this: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-tools-twin-carburetor-vacuum-gauge-sync-kit-84-68592.htmlOr get fancy with this: http://www.twinmax.co.uk/Or make your own - there's lots of DIY tutorials.

piman Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello Wim, I've not used that particular type but it has been around for decades, so should be effective?Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
