I not only have one (actually several) but I used to sell Gunson's
stuff. Their balancer is nice in that it allows you to locate the gauge
remotely from the carb throat. You can easily see the gauge, without
trying to fit your head between the fender and the carbs. Many of the
Gunson's products are really quite nice. They sell a valve adjustment
tool for pushrod motors that is impossible to beat. It is flat out the
best way to adjust valves if you are working on an engine that uses lock
nut an slot-type screw adjustment. Thye also sell a nice low cost
mixture analyzer (although the Build it yourself one in our current
issue works well and costs lots less).
