Been looking at a couple of Gunson tools and was wondering if anyone has experience with them.

The two I am looking at are the Gunson - Trakrite Wheel Alignment Gauge and the Carb Balancer.

Thanks

Ive got the carb balancer and the colourtune.

Carb balancer isnt brilliant, helps a little, but I found it not that great over all.

I've got the trakrite brought it new of ebay seemed best price.
It was easy to use but can't vouch for how good it actually sets the tracking, can only say that I don't appear to have any uneven tyre wear and it steers and corners ok.

carb balancer not to bad, gives a visual indication of low through each carb, but best to check a few times we found reading could vary depending how you had it sitting on the intake.

I used to use the Carbalancer on a 1500 Allegro. It worked like a treat. However, the carbs needed FREQUENT rebalancing,so Ime a single carb man, now. However, its the tool you need-I would recommend it.

I have a Gunson Easi-Bleed and it worked fine the first few times I used it, after about 5-6 times though seals started leaking and the other day i came to bleed the clutch and the top cap has split. Not happy with it really.
