Im sure there are more places, this is just a few i have found

 

I've never heard of colortune before this site, I've always used a mercury syncronizer, and love them, so what's the difference in them, do you need one for each cylinder, or just do one cylinder at a time.

 

your going to want both a colortune (sparkplug) and a set of sync tubes.
the colortune gives you a veiw into the combustion chamber. to see what color the explosion is. hope this helps a little.

 

The colourtune plug is for checking the mixtures AT IDLE directly by looking into the cylinders and seeing the colour of the flame. Excellent tool - especially if you're changed to a high-flow air filter and/or an aftermarket exhaust.

For synchronizing the carbs, good old standard mercury carb sticks will do, but if you really want a tool that'll last and not have to worry about toxic mercury getting sucked into the engine or spilled - then you want to check this out: The Morgan CarbTune II
This uses high-precision stainless rods sliding in plastic tubes to replace the mercury -- never have to worry about it. I've got both, and love 'em! 8)

If you look around, especially at ebay, you can find them at pretty good prices

Now im tryin to locate a decent cheap compression tester and a set of feeler gauges to round out my collection of tuneup tools... SPRING FEVER!!!

 

What was the US price on that, cause im about to order these things.

 

$ 114.00 make sure you specify 14 mm plug size.. I got kit with 3 different sizes, extra $24.00.

 

Search the Web ... I bought my ColorTune for $65.00 US Delivered.

Seriously guys, search online a bit more. You can get the colortune at the link below for 59 bucks plus shipping.

The $114.00 is for 2 gauges a carbtune (sync tool) and a colortune.

 

The same site (morgan) has the colortune sold alone for $45.00.

 

i picked yp feeler gagues from the local dealer for six bucks, BieMaster 20 blade metric set range from .05-1.0mm

 

I bought a colourtune a few months ago on ebay.co.uk for £28.00. Has to be worth looking around a little.

Faighaigh.

 

The price I saw on the Morgan website for the Colortune alone was 35 British Pounds, which currently converts to about $68, plus another 3 Pounds for shipping (about 6 bucks).

 

35.00 EUR
Euro = 46.0457 USD

Not EUR, Pounds.
From the Morgan website "Remember to set converter to UK pounds"

 

I hate being wrong
