Tuning the MadMaxim

I received my carb tuner from z1 yesterday, the compact Sync Pro. Very similar in design to the Morgan Carb tune, however, they use a mysterious blue colored fluid as the level indicator, rather than smooth metal bolts as in the Morgan. As you can see from this pic, my bike, having been adequately warmed up, is showing a bit out of sync.

A few simple adjustments on the bike, and viola! Easy cheesey. But now for the real test. Taking it around the block, what a difference! Even having the bike a bit out of synch seriously affects performance. I could probably adjust the settings a bit more and have it perfectly aligned, but until I obtain a colortune, I think I'm happy with it's performance.

Calibration of the product is necessary before use is required, but it's simple. The instructions supplied can be a bit confusing (don't stuff all of the rubber vacuum caps into the bottom of the carb sync tool. You'll need one for the calibration tool, and they are a bee-eye-tee-see-hach to get back out once inserted.

One downside to the product is the rubber tubing holding the bluish colored fluid (puree'd smurf, I think) just sits in a channel, and tend to bow out a bit while in use. I'm sure a piece of tape would probably fix this issue, (or a bit of rubber cement) but I'll post about that later.

I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out, and for 84 bucks and some change, it's a nice tool.
