The Black Pearl Posted June 3, 2010 #1 Posted June 3, 2010 Just wanted to chime in, I have noticed a lil poping on decel and the engine seemed a lil rough at cruising speed. After reading several post I was thinking time to check the carb sync, called my local STEALER who wants $85 to sync them up (freaking nuts). After watching on this site I saw a post about the price of the morgan carbtune pro being lower due to the exchange rate so I pulled the trigger and got the carbtune pro with case for 93 otd. Rocket fast shipping 8 days to northern michigan, then came my problem. I have always said I am a jack of all trades master of none lol and have done my share of wrenching but when it comes to something new I always get a lil nervous. I have to say this site is so beyond worth the 12 bucks with all the write ups and pictures it was actually a breeze. I took my time, made several adjustments and got them just about perfect, should have took pictures but camera was dead, man what a difference!!! Now I guess this is a big thank you message and a question, does $85 sound right to have a dealer do this? I mean even with a miller lite break it didnt take more than 40 mins so just wondering if they were trying to bend me over. And as far as the thank yous that is for everyone on this site and to Don just have to say you have created so much more than just a website here, I would have been lost and paying for what was a fairly simple job. I will be a member here till the end!!!! Well enough rambling just had to say how happy i was to find this site!!

gibvel Posted June 3, 2010 #4 Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah, it sounds about right. Most shops will charge you about $80 to $85 an hour shop rate. Many will charge an hour minimum which is a shame considering this job takes you about 15 min. start to finish, if you've done it before. If you're lucky you'll find a shop that will break the time into 1/2 hour increments but not often.
slick97spirit Posted June 3, 2010 #5 Posted June 3, 2010 some have posted on here that the stealer's want $300+ to do the sych. Robbery!
SilvrT Posted June 3, 2010 #6 Posted June 3, 2010 If all indications hold true ... my carb tune will keep my cooler stocked with beer all summer! Besides the cycle jack and the lift adapter, the carb tune is one of the best things I have purchased for my scoot.
