Are these carb balancers any good? keep
trying for a Morgan unit, but they go for stupid money
Yes, mine work fine, the rubber hoses perished quickly but some windscreen washer tube made a better job.
You just need to be carefull setting up the little valves to smooth the pulses, and doubling the hose length helped there too.
Thanks Pete, found some on buy it now for same price 
Sorry to disagree but I had one and it useless. Maybe there are different makes but mine [which looked the same as the ebay one] was impossible to
use.
I bought a morgantune and it is excellent.
I would spend the extra and get the Morgantune.

or you could do it the DIY way...
wodden board, some nails or cabel ties, clear plastic tubing, water and food colouring - very locost

I've had two set of them, one many years ago for the bikes and now another set for Bumper.
Only problem I've had is the rubber tube perishing but easily fixed with some nice poly plastic tube.

I can bring my Morgantune 4 to North Weald on Friday, assuming I get there as it's looking like I might have to work.

I've got the gauge type, it works fine for me. I leant it to someone from here, and they very kindly replaced the hoses for me (which do seem
to degrade), and gave me a bottle of wine to boot.
What could be better than that?
Previoiusly I had tried the U-tube trick (I used oil in the tubes), and ended up sucking all the oil into the carbs!!!! I guess they were quite far
out. Then I bought the carb balancer.

Stu, if you could that would be fantastic.
