Carb Synchronizers

I'm leaning towards the vacuum type for the simplicity of it over the mercury type.
All carb sync tools are "vacuum-type" gauges—they measure the intake vacuum.

The Carbtune II, a mechanical vacuum gauge, is no less accurate than mercury vacuum gauges. In a comparison, Motorcyclist found that it read identical to professional mercury sticks.

The Carbtune II has a higher resolution than many dial-type gauges, and unlike some dial-type gauges, it needs no recalibration.

To see how it works, check out the page Carbtune II Operation.

diirk,

Perhaps my previous post was unclear. I would like to clarify the following:
  • The Carbtune II is as accurate as any mercury-type vacuum gauge. A Motorcyclist review found that "tested against a set of professional mercury sticks, the Carbtune II produced identical readings."
  • The term "vacuum-type" is ambiguous when describing a carb sync tool, because all carb sync tools measure the intake vacuum. The vacuum gauge you bought is better described as a dial-type vacuum gauge.
