John,
I too use a similar unit for carb syncing. It's for a twin motorcycle actually. But on my older Kitfox I have a bell crank throttle system and have a device called a "throttle link" attached to the back of one of the throttle cables. It has a knob allowing me to adjust the throttle cable length in very small increments. I can thus sync the carbs without even getting out of the aircraft. I just look at the gauge on the carb sync instrument I have attached to the carbs, turn the knob on the throttle link, and I am synced in about 30 seconds !. This is really a neat item ! Go to Highwing LLC if you are curious. This will most likely not work on your aircraft but it is a great idea that has been working for years for me. Lowell has had some great ideas that he has developed .
