Carb Synchro Tool?

Hi All,

I've had a few problems with my 1979 MGB GT, and to cut a long story short - I now need to synchronise my carbs.

I'm aware of the 'hiss' test - but, I'd prefer to just buy a tool and make sure I get it spot on.

Searching the net, I've found carbtune (used for motorcycles) but - I can't find any equivelent for cars.

Anyone know of any reasonably priced models available in the UK?

Also - If I buy one - am I likely to ever need to use this again? Or would I be better off getting a garage to tune up the carbs ... and save myself the expense?

Thanks,

Steve Bristol, UK

Hiya Steve. I recently had the same quandry and finally bought one (Gunsons) from the MGOC. £14, I seem to remember? Well worth the money. Made a huge difference to the tune. Rather satisfying when it's done.

I've owned a carb synchronizer for years. It used to be called a "Unisyn Gauge." In the Moss USA catalogue it's listed at a cost of $28 US. That's a lot cheaper than any mechanic is going to charge for doing the job.
