FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Gunson Carb Balancer?
Its main purpose is to accurately measure and adjust the airflow or vacuum across multiple carburetors to ensure they are synchronized, leading to a smoother-running engine.
Do I need a Gunson Colortune to use this balancer?
While the Carb Balancer works independently for synchronization, it is highly recommended to use it in conjunction with a Gunson Colortune. The Colortune provides visual feedback on the air-fuel mixture, allowing for a more complete and accurate tune-up.
Can this be used on fuel-injected engines?
No, this product is specifically designed for carbureted engines and cannot be used on fuel-injected systems.
How many carburetors can it balance?
The Gunson Carb Balancer is designed to work with multiple carburetors, typically two, three, or four, depending on the engine configuration.
What kind of maintenance does it require?
Basic care involves cleaning the hoses after use, checking them for damage, and storing the unit in a dry environment. No complex mechanical maintenance is required.
Is this tool difficult to use?
The tool is designed for ease of use, but it does require careful adherence to the included instructions and some basic mechanical understanding for effective synchronization.
Troubleshooting
Gauge reading is erratic or unstable.
Check all hose connections for leaks or a secure fit. Ensure the engine is running smoothly before attempting to balance.
Unable to achieve balance between carburetors.
Verify that the carburetors themselves are in good working order and that internal components (like jets or butterflies) are not sticking. Ensure the engine is at operating temperature.
Hoses do not fit properly.
Ensure you are using the correct adapters or fittings as specified in the manual. Some carburetors may require specific adapter sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the engine is at operating temperature.
- Connect the Gunson Carb Balancer hoses to the inlet ports of each carburetor, following the included instructions for secure attachment.
- Start the engine and observe the gauge readings.
- Adjust the linkage and/or butterfly valve screws on each carburetor until the gauge indicates equal vacuum or airflow across all units.

Compatibility:
This balancer is designed for use with vehicles featuring multiple carburettors (typically 2, 3, or 4). It is not compatible with single-point injection systems or engines with only one carburetor. It is suitable for most common car and motorcycle makes and models with carbureted engines.
Care:
After use, disconnect the hoses and clean them of any debris. Store the unit in a dry place. Periodically check the hoses for cracks or leaks. Clean the gauge face with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
