Title: Throttle body balancing tools. Recommendations?
Post by: Brockett on May 28, 2018, 12:16:24

I feel the need to fiddle with stuff and thought I should maybe check the TPS and Throttle body balance on the TDM.  What gauges have others used?
Is the Morgan Carbtune any good?

I've used it loads of times on my FJR and have found it is easy to use and more than accurate enough.

Are yours the mercury gauges or the stainless steel rods type? I hear the mercury ones were more stable but sadly unobtainable now.

I use davida vacuum gauges, I've owned them for over 25 years and balanced hundreds of carbs/injector bodies, never let me down.

Steel rod and still good
