Emgo Carburetor Synchronizer ??? Any reviews / comments?
« on: March 01, 2011, 05:32:39 AM »
Emgo Carb Sync is on sale at Bike Bandit
http://www.bikebandit.com/emgo-carburetor-synchronizer?WT.mc_id=1484958&CAWELAID=711058163

Anyone have any any insight / reviews? 
How does it compare to the Morgan Carbtune (which I know is highly recommended but is more expensive).

Thanks!

i have one from years past. the needles bounce a lot unless you get dampers as the gauges arent oil filled. i highly recomend the morgan carbtune over these. they work and you can get pretty dam close if not right on. will just take a little more time.

That's almost $70.  I think I paid around $90 for my Morgan including shipping.  If you buy one, get the brass nipples with it though..

Thanks.

Did you buy direct form Morgan? 
Do you know if the 5mm nipples fit the CB350F

Yeah, right from them in the UK.  I got it in less than a week I think but with the new customs issues, it may take longer.  I bought float bowl gaskets from SCI about two weeks ago and still don't have them.  I think it was the 5's that fit hondas.  There was one (suzuki maybe?) that used a different size...  It was on their site somewhere which size fit what...

Re: the Morgan Carbtunes

Can someone post a link to the page with that info.  I looked and didn't see it.  I'm sure it's there... I'm just missing it.  ???

I paid $56 delivered from a supplier on EBAY for the same gauge. They are made by one supplier and different marketers put their names on them, like EMGO. Why pay twice as much for a Morgan if close is close enough? But hey some guys pay $200 for a simple set of open end wrenches from Snap-on or similar when craftsmen work just as good. Doesn't make your bike run better. But I am a weekend worrior and don't work on my bike for a living.
