Yes
Excellent
Can't get better, (unless you get a flash electronicy jiggery pokery super duper garage machine, that'd be a few thousand more though)

Buy it, they're not cheap but you won't regret the outlay, i haven't.
added to which the first time you balance your carbs which you thought were 'alright' you'll go, wow, i never knew it could sound like that, silky smooth mmmmmmmmmm etc

Forgot to add, they're versatile too, twins, triples and fours can be done easily, used mine for more machines than I recall, (amazing how many mates you have when you have such a useful tool.

They're crap for balancing singles though

A spare tank when tuning carbs, looks reasonable.

I have the economy (davida copy) cheapo gauges bought years ago and they are OK, but hard work to set up and need to be damped a lot... I have always worried about there accuracy and never been completely happy with them.. so get the best you can afford and then lend them to me :lol:

Mine are one of the best tools I've ever bought. Normally complete the job before the float bowls run dry so that shows how easy they are to use.
Gonna get me one of those tanks though, could probably go and make a cuppa halfway through the job come back and still have enough to carry on!!
