Thanks everyone! This is great info. The Morgan sounds like perhaps the easiest to use. Now just need to decide whether to break the large or small piggy bank. :greedy:
Mercury yes, in theory Morgan no. Morgan says their tuner may hang at different angles and still read accurately. Hmm, not the way my Morgan is set up, vacuum absolute readings changes with angle on my tuner. Other people may have a better set up than me. You need to cut tubes and install restrictors at particular lengths to get the Morgan to work properly.Do you have to have the thing hanging vertically for it to work right?
The stainless steel columns float over Teflon guides.When you look at the pistons are there any seals on them or just a slip fit to the tube?
Yup, true, it is sealed and all. Then life happens and stuff goes wrong. Tips, drops, rubber tubes pop off and a healthy rev of the engine lets the engine ingest part of the mercury :bad:I don't understand the ...toxicity of the mercury. ...It is in a sealed container so it is not harmfull at all...unless you drop it
The readings change likely due to the weight of the pistons, but they still maintain their relationship to each other, which is the essential task it needs to accomplish-balance between cylinders is still relative, you just can't trust the actual readings to reflect the true vacumn numbers. I still have 2 Motion Pro merc gauges, but prefer the Morgan for it's nice damping and compact size-it's easier to set up on the bike rather than have it hanging, with little fear of a spill should it tip-always a concern with a merc gauge.Morgan says their tuner may hang at different angles and still read accurately.
