Default Cheap homemade carb sync tool....

Just been playing around with the idea of building my own carb sync tooland drew this little sketch of what i'm thinking of building.Doyou guys think this might work or is there any reason that it wouldn't. I have the F3 and as far as i know, carb 1 is the primary to which you tune 2,3 and 4 to. Carb 1 requires an adapter, anybody know where to get one or if theres and easy way of making one. The way i see it is that if all the carbs are creating the same amount of vaccum as carb 1, thenall of thefluid in the tubes should be at the same level. Anybody built anything like this and if so was it accurate? Let me know what you think, appreciate any comments or help.....

carb 3 is the reference carb.

just make sure you don't get all the mercury sucked up in your cylinders!

don't buy if you're in CA...they don't sell Hg refill in CA.

Carb sync tools are not extremely complex devices. There are directions here on how to make your own:

Note that you will need to build yours to support a 4 cyl. motor.
