Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What sort of liquid does it use?
A. It doesn't use any liquids. It has columns of stainless steel
that float through guides to indicate the vacuum.
Q. Is it as accurate as dial or clock type
gauges?
A. Yes. Infact it is more accurate than any dial or clock type
gauges that we have tested. It has better resolution than typical
dial gauges and is also much easier to read. The four columns
are right beside each other for easy comparison unlike the pointers
in dial type gauges.
Q. My dial gauge pointers flicker up and
down. Is the Carbtune II better damped?
A. Yes. The moving part in the Carbtune II is a solid rod. This
is too heavy to flicker wildly up and down. It does flicker a
bit without any damping but with the damping supplied with the
Carbtune II the fluctuations are very small. Infact the Carbtune
II needs a little fluctuation to work properly. We can supply
stronger dampers if necessary.
Q. My dial gauges always need recalibrating,
is this necessary on the Carbtune II?
A. No. The components of the Carbtune II are matched during assembly
at the factory and will not need any recalibrating. They work
on a different principle to dial gauges.
Q. Can I get spare parts if I lose or break
them?
A. Yes. All the loose parts are available from Morgan.
Q. What happens if the Carbtune gets dirty
or greasy inside?
A. The Carbtune can be dismantled for cleaning and this is described
in the instructions. It is very simple to do.
Q. Is the Carbtune guaranteed?
A. Yes. It's guaranteed for a year but we expect it to have a
very long service life. Some of our original Carbtunes are still
in service after nearly 20 years.
Q. Why is the 2-cylinder model almost the
same price as the 4-cylinder model?
A. Both model use the same casing, connector blocks, and mouldings.
They also take almost the same time to assemble and test so the
production costs are not very different.
Q. If I buy the 2-cylinder model can it
be upgraded to a 4 in the future?
A. Not really as it would have to be completely disassembled and
then rebuilt with matching components.
Q. Does the Carbtune II work on cars?
A. It does work on some cars, mainly high performance cars, but
most cars don't have any facilities to connect gauges to them.
It works on some Lotus, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Ferrari and
similar. Ring for details.
Q. Does it work with outboard motors?
A. It works with the new generation of 4-stroke 4-cylinder engines.
