Has anyone built their own synchronizer (basically a double-ended

differential manometer) instead of buy a commercial kit? How well did it

work? Looks like it should be as good (or better with the longer scale).



Something like this:

Craig,  

I have been using this tool for some time now and can report it is very accurate, cheap, and easy to use. Don’t rest the hoses on your windscreen as the pulses through the engine will scratch the Perspex, or Lexan in my case, but otherwise thoroughly recommended.   

Regards

Hi Geoff,



What is "this Tool"? Do you mean the $1.55 home made vacuum manometer or something else? Could you please explain a little or post a picture.



Thanks 



Rick

Hi Guys,



If you don't want to spend a bunch of money for a carb balance tool here is a picture that you can make at home. It works very well and is easy to use. At least use a decent pair of liquid filled gages.

Rick,

I was referring to the $1.55 special as attachment in Craigs post. I used Dextron 3 as the oil inside the tubes.  Very accurate and highly visible when its all happening!.

regards

Geoff

Hi Geoff,



Thanks for the clarity. I like the idea, I'll give it a try.
