Brian,
I agree with Randall here. I have the su tool kit and I use the jet spanner
more than anything. In fact I have an extra spanner and it is in the cubby
box along with a distributor gap tool.
I sync the carbs using a neoprene hose in the ear. How perfect do you need to
get it? Is your eye any better than your ear? The kit also can be used to
insure the floats are set correctly. I also think it comes with instructions
for those new to the tools.
