Re: [Titanaircraft] Carbmate 912 914 carb sync tool

Sorry, my answer was a bit short. I wasn't trying to be snarky or
discount LEAF's tool. It's much easier to use and you can't damage your
engine with it.

I just know that a lot on this list are hard-core DIY'ers and might be
interested in a cheaper alternative, even if it adds some time to the task.

To pre-empt the next question: How can you damage your engine with the
clear tubing setup? Well, if your carbs are soooo unbalanced that you
suck all the water out of the tube into one carb, that's bad. They'd
have to be off by about 4" of mercury. That's "holy cow this engine runs
so rough I won't fly it" unbalanced. You can also suck water into a carb
if the tube comes off one of the carbs during the test at low RPMs.
