Refilling the Carbtune

[Alex]

During the move to the new house my Carbtune was tipped over. About 1/2 the Mercury that it came with was lost. I finally found some online but I'm not sure if 1oz will be enough to fill it up the last 50% needed to function properly.

Does anyone know how much originally comes with the tool? I found it for $45 per oz. the mass of Hg is 13.546 g/cm3. According to those numbers i will have approx. 2 cubic cm which should be plenty for the tool, yes?

Same thing happened to me.

Where did you find the mercury?

i bought my extra on line from dealer that i bought the carb tune from. i got it when i first heard that they might start restricting sales/shipment of mercury. my original quantity is still working and that heavy little package of spare is waiting in the wings.

i know this doesn't help you, but it makes me smile to think i actually planned ahead successfully. it happens so rarely.

i'll try to remember to go check the label on the package for volume.

I found some at: https://unitednuclear.com

Don't be purchasing the last of their supplies now

I thought the advantage of the carbtune was that it has no mercury in it?

If it's the Morgan Carbtune from the U.K. it has stainless steel rods in the tubes, not mercury.

It might be a Motion Pro carb tune? It was inexpensive and works great. It was purchased back in 2003 before the other fancy ones were readily available let alone affordable.
