i wasn't dumping on your parade, i was just throwing my 2 cents in for users that might be concerned theirs isn't exact.

just poking little more, but if the morgan was in tune.....which one would you have kept?


so the adjustment method for the morgan is just turning the adjustment nuts?

I don't mind at all with a disagreement, None of us know it all and it is usually when we think we do that we get into trouble. Acceptable can mean different things to different people and what you may find as acceptable may not be what I would accept. Hey it would be a boring world if we all agreed.

I like the idea behind the Morgan and it is a very simple device that when working works very well. I do disagree that it is as maintenance free as some would suggest. If there is a tight tolerance and you place some dust or debris in that clearance you have just affected the reading of the tool. Most would probably be content with not checking it before use, But just a quick check with a 5 way manifold hooked to one cylinder would verify that you have the tool operating all at the same readings.

To answer your question I see advantages in both tools, But for simplicity I would say the Morgan is better in that respect. Since I did purchase both and I have not told Sean what I want to do yet I am still considering keeping both.

Yes the simple fix for a small difference in readings is to adjust the nut on the rod, But only after making sure that the brass bushing and rod are clean and free from gunk or debris. As I am sure you know the back of the tool is not airtight and while the engine is running there is air being brought in from the back of the tool and through the brass bushing and the rod. What comes with air flow? Dust does and it can get in the closest of tolerances.

Back when I was building fuel injectors we had a specially ventilated room as the tolerances where so close between the injector tip that any dust would make them stick, But then again that is millionths of a inch there.

Sorry about the rambling on!

I have to say Sean was good to me in the past about replacing parts when it's been an issue -- never charged anything (even postage) and got it out immediately, on my doorstep four days later (from the UK). I don't want to ever have to try to get repairs from MotionPro on something (tried it once on a tool, gave up after weeks).

That said, yes, it would seem your unit was defective.

PS - can you update your picture links? My machine is telling me the server with the pics is unavailable.

I picked up the motion pro sync tool about a month ago and lemme tell ya its awesome ...I put it together though I was missing 1 restrictor Chris at motion pro sent me a whole parts kit including that restrictor free of charge and express mail as well....

as for height of liquid in the tube it is adjustable so if your worried about suckin it up anyway you can set the volume low and even ...

I couldnt be happier with this tool the fluid is very stable and easy to read ...I like the fact it has to be calibrated each use that means I get a more precise reading each time
