BuffaloBill Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 This is a carburetor balancer for use on 2 or more carbs to balance the air flowing through to the engine. Just hold tightly against the intake and take the readings of each and adjust accordingly. Makes for much improved fuel economy and smoother running engine. Open to offers on this one.

Guest Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Great little tools BB, I still have the same gadgets in my servicing toolkit. Essentials for anyone tinkering with multi carb engines and mechanical ignition systems. Those were the days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macroft1 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I always used a length of 10mm diameter tube. One end stuck in my lug hole and the other over the edge of the inlet. I could hear minute differences and adjust accordingly - worked a treat!! Regards. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great way before my hearing went south try some vac gauges there brill for setting up multi carb systems correctly, one time when hearing was ok?set some carbs then checked with gauges wasnt that far out but you have to have that lug ole that works !!!

Guest Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 That's reminded me of another indispensable and cheap tool for engines, a car stethoscope. I bought one many years ago and it's been very useful tracking down odd noises in my car and boat engines. They can be bought for less than a fiver, need no batteries, and work really well. The only problem is that you look like a Berk when using one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
