TecMate is a leading manufacturer of motorcycle battery chargers and accessories. Their products are designed to keep your motorcycle battery in top condition, whether you're using it regularly or storing it for the winter. TecMate chargers are fully automatic and feature a variety of safety features to protect your battery. They also offer a range of accessories, such as battery testers and battery leads, to make it easy to maintain your battery. Features: CarbMate displays the difference in vacuum intake settings of two carburetors or throttle bodies very precisely on a single transverse "East-West" 9 LED display - visual estimation errors, common to the traditional approach which is to visually compare the individual values on separate columns of mercury or dial gauges are eliminated as two pressures are compared and one value is displayed. Electronic two-channel synchronizer for carburetors and fuel injection. The cost-effective electronic replacement for mercury sticks. Easily converted to synchronize three or four carburetors/throttle bodies (accessory sold separately). Bright color LED graph display reacts to even minor adjustments quickly. Precision instrument that is accurate to 0.5cmHg (meets or exceeds OEM specifications). Solid-state electronics are shock resistant and extremely durable. A single green LED at the center mark indicates that the compared manifold vacuums are perfectly equal to within the selected resolution. A ZERO adjustment knob provides easy and quick pre-calibration prior to synchronizing; with no tubes connected, simply adjust the knob until the center LED is on. Instrument powered by any 12V battery source (cord with clips supplied). Manufacturer part number: TS110
The TecMate Carbmate TS110 is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and mechanics who need to precisely synchronize carburetors or throttle bodies. Its key benefit is the elimination of visual estimation errors common with traditional gauges, offering a clear, precise LED display for accurate readings up to 0.5cmHg. A potential caveat is that it comes standard for two carburetors, requiring an accessory for three or four-cylinder setups.

Troubleshooting
No LEDs illuminate when powered on.
Verify the 12V power connection is secure and the battery source is functional. Check the fuse if applicable.
LEDs do not respond to adjustments.
Ensure vacuum hoses are properly connected to the carburetors/throttle bodies and are not kinked or blocked. Confirm the engine is running and producing vacuum.
Center LED does not show for perfectly equal vacuums.
Perform the ZERO adjustment calibration again as per the setup instructions. Ensure connections are secure and there are no air leaks.
Inaccurate or erratic readings.
Check all vacuum hose connections for leaks. Ensure the instrument is calibrated correctly using the ZERO adjustment knob before use.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the motorcycle engine is off and has cooled down.
Locate the vacuum ports on each carburetor or throttle body.
Connect the appropriate adapter hoses from the Carbmate to each vacuum port.
Connect the Carbmate's power lead to a reliable 12V battery source (e.g., the motorcycle's battery).
Turn the ignition on (engine may or may not need to be running, consult manual).
Use the ZERO adjustment knob to align the center LED when no vacuum is applied (or as per manual instructions).
Start the engine and observe the LED display for vacuum readings.
Compatibility:
Compatible with any motorcycle or vehicle featuring carburetors or throttle bodies that utilize vacuum for operation.
Can be adapted for 3 or 4-cylinder engines using the separately sold accessory kit.
Care:
Keep the instrument clean and free from dirt and debris.
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
Store in a dry, secure location when not in use.
