Carbtune Usage (A success!)

[snyper316]

the music isnt my cup of tea lol but the basics i would mute if you dont like odd sounding techno music

[yamagrl]

Carbtune is no doubt your best choice in the hundred dollar range. That other one is only few dollars less.

Ordered the Carbtune II prob with pouch....think it was $94 shipped....will use on both bikes and see how it works!

[Seaking]

Anyone know what the specs are on the tubes themselves? I have to replace the tubes on different manometers I have at hand.. Local shop doesn't carry this size.. (weird?!)

[TD]4 x 1 metre lengths £8

[h=3]Nitrile hoses[/h]

Comes in 1 metre lengths for connecting gauges to carburettors. Will work with any gauges. 5mm id x 8mm od.

This is not a fuel hose and should not be used for a fuel supply.

Yup!! The Morgan is made in England, therefore the lines are metric!

 

Hey, just thought of something, wonder if the company is the same company that made the Morgan automobile...

[Great adVENTURE]

Looking forward to a maintenance day in the future where someone could bring there's down and walk me thru it.

anyone got any tips for getting stubborn vacuum tubes off the nipples without damaging anything

[luvmy40]

move the clamps off the nipple and twist the hoses when they're good and warm. Then replace them. Once they stick they aren't going to seal up very good again. The nipples should be metal in most cases. Just split the the hose on the nipple with a razor knife and pull them off with pliers if they are too stubborn.

i find the vacume tubes are like the old chinese finger traps if you use a small pair of pointy nose pliers and leaver them of from the end they come easy

Did just over 100 miles today.

Initial MPG is up considerably!

 

I went from about 34MPG to 40MPG!

 

This was my 8,000 mile service. I have also increased my tire pressure to 45PSI Rear tire and 40PSI front tire. Stay Tuned!

 

I really appreciate all of everyone's help. This forum is better than any advise I have been getting from the dealership.

 

The head mechanic at the dealership told me the carb synch only served to make the bike idle better and little else.

Wait until I see him again! I will surely let him know how off base he was!

I know that is flat out lie for one why do the charge $100 to adjust the carbs......

You know it amazes me how some places have ppl that work for them that don't know jack. Prolly why I like motorcycle boneyard places working on my bike and like going to small auto parts stores. You go to AutoZone and they try telling you that you don't need the part but a different one that has nothing to do with what your working on.. I do my best to go in while the ppl who know what they r doing r working just like going to Lowe's...

Got my Morgan Carbtune with pouch and it was $94 delivered. Used it last week and it makes a big difference....like installing new plugs in place of old fouled out ones for comparison. Once you identify the screws to adjust it's pretty easy. I will probably don't his every oil change. I notice the bike seems to Rev a little higher before wanting to shift, feels tigjter. Sounds better, snoother, just better overall. For the money it's silly not to have one compared to buying some chrome doo dad or other cosmetic piece.

What? chrome is the reason for motorcycles!!! Its a way for us to show off. If I didn't chrome everything people wouldn't notice how really really good looking I am:rotf:

Carbtune, something else I need to add to my purchase list for the Venture.

[bongobobny]

Another good tool is a Colortune plug for adjusting the richness, which is a lot less expensive than an exhaust gas analyzer...

I will add it to the list.

After reading this 'classic' thread once again, this reminds me to perform another carb synch on my Venture. The last time I did it was around the end of summer (2016).
