I do! How do you check the mixture otherwise, especially with carbs?

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

They are like fuel injection that you can fix when it goes wrong.

I always went with 'if it smells right & sound it'll be close enough'
then take it to the garage down the road to use the gas analyser when I get the chance...
mind you I'm red green colour blind - so those things would be no good to me anyway lol

I already have one, have reserved three more Can you imagine how much easier is to set carbs with all of them fitted at once

I have a Lucas Gas analyser, but the four carbs need setting up individually initially.

I'd be interested to hear how close you can get a match on 4 pots with just visual feedback. Used to own one of these but I could adjust the
mixture and the timing so far without being able to see a difference it was mental.

The trouble with colour tunes though is that you can only really tune the idle mixture, I did have one years ago but never really found it much use
apart from idle adjustments.
