should of made your own. costs me $1.97 to make mine i can sync all for carbs at the same time and its more sensitive then the $100+ dollar ones you can buy.

Hey Joe, how did you make it to be able to sinc all four?

i attatched a pic of the unit. some 1/4" airline tubing, 2-3way 1/4" connectors, a board to hold it all and some ATF so it will not hurt your bike if it get ingested and wah lah.  i will say i have used the more expencive version and was not pleased at all. the weight of the substance in the units are much heavier,moves much slower and can cause problems if it gets ingested into the carbs. all it takes is twisting one of the adjusting screws just a lil to much. trust i did it lol. thankfully it was with my unit and all it did was burn the ATF with no damage.   and best of all cost me $1.97

let me know what you think.

oh and i dont what bike you have but i know the carb on the 79-82 bunch have adapters you need to buy and they thread in to where these small screws are.  once done all you do is hook up you meter to those ad fire up the motor.  if your bike is the 79-82 bunch you can get the adapters from Z1enterprize very cheap.

Thanks a lot, Joe, this is great is it about a 3-4 feet vertical column?
I have the adapters and have been using a vacuum gauge. It's a bit of a pain unless you have four gauges.
For multiple carbs, where you don't have that stupid air box I have always used a "Unisyn" with great success.
