How it works
Intake synchronisers measure vacuum values in cm of mercury (Hg) from each individual throttle valve's vacuum port. These values indirectly show the differences in throttle valve opening angle between the master- and other cylinders of a given engine. Synchronising an engine makes for a uniform opening angle between valves, ensuring a similar fuel mixture quantity is being fed in each cylinder - mixture quality is a different parameter, shown on a gas analyser.


The CarbMate features 3 functions:

  1. Resolution rotary button: range from 1.50 to 0.50cm Hg per LED. One starts the synchronisation on the highest value, fine-tuning is gradually achieved by going towards industry standards-beating 0.50cm Hg.
  2. Synchronisation: connecting the reference (or master) cylinder port to CarbMate's left, "REF" input displays the template vacuum value, to be matched with the other cylinder's value. The single bar graph acts like a balance between two cylinders. These are synchronised when vacuum values are even - the middle LED is on. Provided manual explains the procedure for 3 or 4 cylinder-engines, using the optional "2 to 4" pneumatic kit.
  3. Zero adjustment: used between two synchronisation operations, CarbMate's intake tubes loose, in order to reset atmospheric pressure measurement.

    CarbMate

    This unit is easier to use and more accurate than vacuum gauges, it is well built and I would think it would last well provided it was taken care of. Service from Probike was excellent and delivery was next day. Would certainly recommend this to anyone who is on the fence about owning one it is money well spent.

    Carbmate Synchroniser

    The unit feels really high quality and comes well packaged with all you need to sync a twin cylinder vehicle. I've done an initial sync on my air-cooled BMW motorbike and found the unit easy to use with good instructions. Very good communications from Probike throughout trying to find one of these and the purchase process. As a bonus the unit is guaranteed for two years to the initial purchaser.
