[TR] uni-syn vs synchrometer

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Personally, I  prefer a pair of plastic tubes. One end of each goes to  the 
air inlets with the air cleaners off. The other ends go to one's ears. When 
 the sound of the suction is identical, the carbs are synchronised. I have 
used a  Uni-Syn before, but stopped using it because my ears appeared more 
accurate.  After buying my TR3A, I bought a '65 Volvo PV544 Sport and it came 
with a  Uni-Syn but I've never used it. I have, however, managed to get 
very precise  carburettor sychronisation with the tubes, on both cars and with 
previous  Triumphs and MGs wth SUs and Strombergs.
 
I'm sorry to give you an answer that you didn't want. I often find that  
forums give an answer that says "try this: It should work". Now I find  I am 
doing the same, so perhaps I am hypocritical. However, my opinion is that I  
would ditch both tools and use the ones that my parents gave me, along with  
a pair of plastic tubes.
 
Sorry to have thrown a grenade into the whole forum; I'm sure I've created  
trouble and I'm honestly not a troublemaker......
