Anyone got a Carb balancer I can borrow?

For a 4 carb setup, this weekend?

Not sure if this is really much help, but I bought one a little while ago from carbtune.com. An excellent and fairly robust bit of kit. Not sure what they cost now but mine was about £45.

Thanks Keith, I'd seen the Carb tune ones myself but couldn't justify the price tag for a once or maybe twice off use.

Thought more people might have one kicking around thier sheds or garages as it's not really used that frequently unless you're in the proffesion.

I'd been watching some with dials on e-bay that look quite interesting.

I may have one in the garage, will have a look and let you know. (Just built a new garage so it's all a bit of a mess!)

I'll let you know in a week, as when I get back from my trip nextweek I've got her booked in for a complete carb overhaul and tune.
