Iv made my own this morning.
its a four pot four carb but only using 2 guages. left 2. right 2. then middle 2.
2 guages off ebay £9.
couple unions £5
1 mtr hose £pennies.
works perfect. got to squeeze the hose slightly to limit flutter but jobs a good'n.
Thjere something like £60 for a 4 guage set up.

You dont really need one, a bit of hose and your lug holes will do it, if your deef you may find it difficult though.
Cheers,
Bob

With DCOE carbs the hose to the ear method is best, the only thing to make sure the carb end of the hose is held in exactly the same position
relative to the carb trumpet.

Link just takes me to eBay, not to the gauges 
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

No link was posted, if you type ebay the new dodgy forum software adds a basic link...

Surely (only IMHO of course) you would balance the middle two first then match up the outside ones to those.
If you do left two, then right two, then balance the middle two, the outside two would then be out of balance with the inner two. Always assuming that
you had to adjust the inner two of course.
I also would like to know where on ebay to get two gauges for that price. I couldn't find any.

You can't beat a Morgantune is you have vacuum take offs on each inlet. They aren't cheap though.

Hia mate. Its a bike. You sync 1+2. Then 3+4, or other way round, doesnt matter. Then by syncing 2+3 all 4 are equal.
