New, Digital Harmonizer Vacuum Multi-Tool Available
 
Found this guy selling a new digital Harmonic Balancer on ADVRider. It's basically a 21st Century Twinmax on steroids. I'm buying one next week, how about you?

WOBB is a term of endearment we use for flatty, Wobbly Old Broken Basterd... not really sure how it applies to you tho.

Just his desire for mercury poison stone age sticks -- after my first bio-hazard incident, I've never looked back.

Mercury doesn't have a digital tach either. :confused:

wswartzwel 07-09-2011 07:43 PM

Let me know if you change your mind. i have a couple mason jars full of the stuff, be glad to mail you one.;)

OK, dusting off this thread, I busted out my Harmonizer for the first time tonight and it is a very cool tool. Took me a little while to get the concept of the sync process, but once I did I discovered that the left throttle cable was WAY loose and the TBs were way out of sync. Got it all dialed in nicely and the bike is noticeably smoother and has better, finer throttle response. Big improvement all around.

I've got one as well. Looking forward to using it once I get everything put back together.

So did Emperor Chin but it didn't help him much. :D

wswartzwel 03-22-2012 05:07 AM

With Mercury, I can get more information about the condition of the engine, by watching how it pulses, and how much overall vacuum there is, than just if the cylinders have equal vacuum at the vacuum ports.

Buzzz 03-22-2012 07:10 AM

There is gauge mode on the Harmonizer too.

I plan to buy one soon. Have sold my carbtune last week...

wswartzwel 03-22-2012 07:17 AM

4 of them? Cool. I was not aware of that.

Sorry, I don't understand. 4 what?

This thread does not deliver.SmileWavy



When I hear of "harmonizing vacuum" I think something like this:

4 guages.
When synchronizing a multi cylinder engine, a mercury stick allows me the ability to watch up to 4 cylinders simultaneously. You can blip the throttle and see if they all drop back to the base level vacuum equally. If not this gives a red flag that you have mechanical issues, like a leaky valve or sticking butterfly if they do not all rise and fall together.

Buzzz 03-22-2012 11:58 AM

OK. I didn't think about 3 or 4 cylinder motors. But hey, we're on a Boxer forum. Aren't we. ;)

wswartzwel 03-22-2012 12:06 PM

So it does have 2 then?

I was ridiculed earlier in the thread for mentioning I liked mercury stix, so please understand my comparison to this device was just to find out if it would meet the needs of my shop or not.

Buzzz 03-22-2012 12:21 PM

yeah, only 2 entries. Like the twinmax if you know.

AndrewA 03-22-2012 12:24 PM

I like the mercury because you can watch it bounce.
But that's just me.

The guy who builds/designed them is working on a 4 cyl version.

I didn't detect any ridicule, but yeah, as was posted, the guy has been working on a 4-cylinder version for months. If you peruse that thread on ADV you'll find a lot of happy users.

Neat tool, but I'm not exactly an expert that can compare or contrast to mercury. You likely have a feel for it after all this time Bill.

Is this the part where Ben creates a new account and tells us all how much better it is to use vacuum gauges?

Another satisfied customer. Ordered on Fri, got shipment notice on Sat, delivered on Tue! Doesn't get much better than that! It's way easy to use and more importantly, results are REPEATABLE, something my CarbTune never was. If you work on your bike, this is a must have!

Drews323i 03-29-2012 05:49 PM

Got mine on Monday. My bike has never run smoother. Quality craftsmanship and is easy to use.

turboflyer 03-29-2012 08:44 PM

Looks cool, but the twinmax gets it done. I wish I could show you my first syn tool. Talk about crude. The mercury sticks I still have but never use.

Buzzz 03-29-2012 08:44 PM

If everything goes OK, I should order mine this evening.

Droptarotter 03-30-2012 07:46 AM

I have had my Harmonizer for quite some time now. I got in on the pre sale.
I still have my mercury stix. The Harmonizer is much easier to use.
I seem to get air in my mercury stix and always have to pull a tube to correct that.

Cheers

Something with the single post nature of that other link was defeating the PayPal link...
