Carbie balance tool

[relick62au]

I want to balance my carbies so I'm looking for a carbie balancing tool. Can anyone recommend a good one or give me an ideea on how to make one. I was thinking of setting up 4 automotive vacuum guages but I dont know if the vacuum generated will be within their working range. Any help would be appreciated.

G'day,

I bought a cheap one of the net a year or two ago, and it worked out really good.  If you want top of the line, you can pay top dollar and get the best job, I wanted something to use that would work enough to get it to the mechanics, it turned out balanced enough the mechanic needed to do nothing.

scroll halfway down the page for the picture, looks like circular tubes.

I searched ebay but the seller not selling them.

D.I.Y can work well, may take awhile to perfect.

cheers, Gareth

Here is what I use. The "restrictors" are out of a 5.00 Harbor Freight brake bleed kit. You can do 2 cyl at a time as per the factory service manual but you could build a 4 tube unit. The restictors are the key to the unit. I use 2 stock oil and the clear tubing is 1/4 inch I think. I based it on the one FJmonkey gave you the link for , powerchutes.com. It is large but very accurate and good for fine tuning. My estimate is 1 inch of fluid movement in the tube is about the same as 1/8 inch in the smaller sticks.

The Morgan Carbtune is a good unit,
Easy to use and no fluids to replace.

The Morgan isn't cheap.  But it has the hallmark of a great tool... it makes the job take almost no time once set up, and it's easy to get perfect results.

Otherwise, do roughly the same as shown above and make one.  It'll be a little more fiddly, but you can get great results for a tiny expense.

I made one like that. I used it on my FJ and it worked great. Purrs like a kitten.
