Tool for mixture setting
« on: March 08, 2012, 04:17:50 pm »
This is another method for setting the mixture as described in the Clymers workshop manual Section  SIX.  Lucky

Do exactly as it says and use this tool.
It reads to 1 rpm!!!
You will get excellent results.
It is easier with a second person to read the numbers to you.
It works VERY well.
The tool costs about $ 47.00

The product web site and some amazon reviews say its not meant for MC applications, only automotive. Have you actually used this yourself on a CB750?

Yes, I used it myself. No problem.

Autos have 4 cylinder engines.

On the end of the tool where it clamps onto the spark plug wire there is a white arrow and that arrow is supposed to point towards the spark plug. The instrutions do not tell you that, but it does show a drawing.

Just use #1 or #4 because they are easier to get to.
