Problem is i lost the attachments that come with it. I need to balance my vfr carbs and having had a look at the carbtune website i dont know which attachments i need to use to balance my carbs. Here's the carbtune page:

Anyone know which attachments i need?

Thanks.

You need the 4 hoses and 4 nylon adaptors (for temp fitting), I think they are 5mm for the VFR, just check by measuring one of the blanking screws. I don't know if you get the thin clear hose with the 4 hoses to make the restricter to stop the guages fluttering.

Morgan sell all the bits on their website

I broguth 4 new nylon hoses (with restrictors) and 4 brass adaptors for £15 delivered about 2 weeks ago

http://www.carbtune.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Click on Order Shopping Cart near the bottom, then Click on Carbtune accessoires.

You want to order 4 x Nitrile Hoses, select the one with the restrictors pipe added (extra £1)

That is £7.00

Then you want to order 4 x 5mm Nylon adaptors for £5.00 (or brass, their more expensive)

Free delivery.

When they come you need to make the hoses.

Cut approx 10cm off the end of each hose, then cut the small plastic pipe into 4 equal sections and join the hoses back together with each little piece.

The part with the join in connects to the engine, the other end connects to the carbtune ^_^

Yeah, there really good for a general home tune. (you'll need a gas anaylzer et al to achieve better results)

They dont' do one small enough for the NC30/35 though

I've suggested them to the quad-bike dealership I worked at over summer. We spent a many a fruitless hour adjusting mixture! :oops:

Thanks for the info guys. I think i'll be going for the brass adaptors (£8 ones, spend a bit more for longevity me thinks) and the little clear tubes as mine arent in the best nick.
