tecMate CarbMate Carb Balancer

The CarbMate helps you balance the intake vacuum between two engine cylinders during synchronisation work. You use it to measure the vacuum difference on a single display, supported by a range adjustment system that lets you fine-tune readings down to 0.5 cmHg for precise alignment of throttle valve opening angles.Discover the key features of this tool:Resolution Rotary Button: The rotary selector controls the LED-per-value resolution from 1.50 cmHg to 0.50 cmHg, using an internal stepped reference circuit that increases measurement sensitivity as you narrow the range, giving you a clear view of small vacuum changes and helping you bring the cylinders into accurate balance at the resolution recommended by engine manufacturers.Single Bar Graph Synchronisation Display: The LED bar graph compares the reference cylinder connected to the left REF port with the cylinder linked to the right port by converting both vacuum values into an electronic differential reading, giving you a centred LED when the values match and helping you set identical throttle valve opening angles for uniform airflow into each cylinder.Zero Adjustment Function: The zeroing control resets the internal pressure baseline to atmospheric pressure when the intake tubes are disconnected, using a built-in calibration reference that prevents drift between sessions, helping you maintain consistent measurements throughout a service procedure.Range Adjust Capability: The adjustable measurement range from 2 to 0.5 cmHg uses a stepped attenuation system to widen or narrow the displayed difference, letting you start with large visible changes before switching to finer sensitivity, helping you complete accurate synchronisation on engines that require tight balance tolerances.Connection Options: The available connection accessories, including an optional 2-to-4 pneumatic kit, provide direct links to vacuum ports on engines with two, three or four cylinders, giving you flexible routing of intake tubes so you can set up the tool appropriately for different layouts and maintain clear access during adjustment work.You use the CarbMate to bring intake vacuum levels into alignment, which supports smoother operation when you are maintaining engines with individual throttle valves. Its electronic differential display and adjustable sensitivity help you work accurately during routine servicing in workshops or home garages where precise setup matters. Adding this tool to your equipment gives you a reliable way to achieve balanced cylinder operation during regular tuning tasks.
