Well i just tuned up my car yesterday for the first time and everything went pretty well. It turned out the carbs where a fair way out of balance, the rear carb was running incredibly rich, and it was only running on five cylinders due to a shot spark plug. I fixed everything up, now its running pretty well. Anyway, this colour tune thing is REALLY helpful, it helped me see what was wrong straight away, as i wouldn't have know the rear carb was running sooo rich, so now hopefully i will get decent fuel mileage now. Anyway, i would seriously recommend this colour tune thing (even though it emptied my bank acount)

Anything equivelant to that in Victoria???? I need to buy a Colortune kit and air flow meter or Unisys whatever it is to dial in my carbs.

i'm not really familiar with how to tune carbs. Does colortune allow you to sync up the carbs to each other as well as to the engine?

 

nah, for that you need a flow meter (e.g unisyn). I got a gunson's carbalancer, which is made by the same people as colourtune, it cost $80. Hard to believe its worth $80, but i guess you need it. But i spent under $200 on equipment, and did it myself, and it would have cost me $300 to have it tuned up.

I was quite surprised when they had the colourtune as well. I rang up to see if they had flowmeters, and thought i might as well ask...
