If you have the complete set of jets (idle, mains, air corrector) that the
mechanic should have, and a good working knowledge of tuning Webers, go for
the Colourtune.
Otherwise the $50 an hour is the best bargain you'll ever see!
Short answer - for the vast majority of owners, tuning your own Weber makes
about as much sense as a do-it-yourself guide to vasectomies.
