Synchrometer Recommendations, Your "secrets" on Carb Sync tools Options

[Martin Baker]

Well, after many years being away from Carbs, and learning Robert Bosch's systems on my own personnel vehicles, I am now taking what I learned about basic carb principles, to tuning Holleys for drag racing, and reading the two different books I bought on Webers, I would like to ask all of you kind folks what Carb Synchrometer is your personnel favorite? I see the Uni-Syn and another named Synchrometer TYPE SK from Redline Inc. The latter is much more exspensive than the uni-syn. An ex-F1 mechanic here in town says Uni-Syn. Are there others, and has anyone used this Redline product? Thanks.

J P,

Thanks. I must say I thought you had ben refering to a particular method of using the synchrometer itself. I just stick it on the throttle opening and read. Guess you do the same.

Adjustment of the MFI appears to be slightly different than carbs. I did have to start from scratch, and adjust the throttle stops, then the individual linkagages etc . . . Quite a bit of work.

I still have a couple of issues to work out, but it's coming along.

I sometimes have pretty heavy smoking at idle. which looks like oil, and it goes away as soon as I give it a little throttle. Engine was rebuilt not long ago and the stem seals should be OK. Is there anything else that can cause this ?
