I used to balance carbs by ear but old age has taken it's toll
So where can I get one of those manometers thingys as cheap as possible?
Or are there any other options/ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

Some of them are just driving a racing car but some are racing drivers.
Carb Balancing
When I did mine some time ago I only had a single vacuum gauge so balanced them as follows. Mig welder tips screwed into the carb holes with tubes attached. Strong spring clamps on 3 tubes bent double to block these. Vacuum gauge on the 4th. Clamp this one then move the gauge.
It did make it a bit labourious but was doable.
I used a colortune as well.

Thought about your suggestion RobCallen but decided to talk SWMBO into letting me get a Carbtune
This afternoon I used it and have to say how good it is. Very simple to use and within minutes I have an engine that ticks over perfectly. Haven't driven it yet due to alcohol comsumptiom celebrating Jenson's win
Anyway a highly recommended product. Thanks to all the pointed me in the right direction.

PS. Just a thought...anyone that wants to come over to Skegness and use it before they buy thier own (seeing it in action you will want one!) is very welcome.
