Any recommendations on dual manifold vacuum gauge for carb sync? Really like the one in the carb sync video but can’t find a comparable. I have the carbmate, which I do like, but I’d rather be able to see rpm of each side like in the video. 

thanks!

    They work great but you have to look for them.  Found one listed on Ebay, it is a bit pricey however.  If you go to the aircraft flea markets at airshows they normally have a few.  I have seen them at much lower costs in Oshkosh or Sun n Fun for example.  

    Cheers

    My carb vacuum gauges are cheap dial (Bourdon tube) types from a motorcycle shop - they work very well.

    Try eBay ($40 Australian)

    Had to purchase sufficient length of vacuum hose/tube, so gauges can be temporarily mounted in cockpit but otherwise use as is.

    Dials can be zeroed.

    I always swap vacuum hose to check for gauge error - has never been a problem.

    Motorcycle carburetors balance gauges from www.ebay.com.au

     

    Not sure why you want rpm - its will be the same for each side ie same as your instrument tacho.

    It’s weird that there’s not much new market for them anymore. Thanks though

    For the home mechanic, carby balancing is usually an infrequent task. Throwing more money at a fancy carb balance tester, won't make the job any easier or more accurate.
