I have set of merc sticks if you want to comedown and use them.   Only cost you a beer or two.

ya know I thought it was a good idea at one time to tell i tried it that is . to touchy and sucked up some of the colored water in to the carbs . so after that i got a set of 4 vac gages and went to town have not been sorry i did that . yes cost is one thing but to be honest i also found away to do it by justifying the cost of them against the carb rebuild from water in the motor  to the frustration of using them and I live on a fixed income from social security disability so thing on it be for  you do it

Ride that bike over here Heffy and you can use my carbtune, I used a piece of wire to "bech synch" 'em, and they feel so good I haven't bothered to put the gauges back on 'em! Got any wire? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
