Does anyone have the carb styx that Ivans sells & does it work ok? Is it murcury filled? He states in his add it's what he has used for years & it's only like $70.00.

I have that model. Very easy to set up and use, very accureate. However:
1. It is long. This makes storage a pain.
2. It is mercury filled so you pretty much have to keep it hung up. The mercury "tank" has no real cover or cap. (see note 1)
3. If the mercury gets loose (see 1&2) you dont have extra.
4. It may be impossible (or it will be soon) to get mercury. So when it's gone (see 1,2 &3) it's gone.
For these reasons I think it's worth the extra money to get a Morgan Tune.
They cost more (about $110 +shipping) but you could drop your mercury type tuner the first day and then you're stuck. The Morgan has nothing to spill, it is smaller and you can stick it in a drawer.

With the bag & the shipping, it's $127 today. Without the bag, it's $113 & change. And for a Kat, you don't need any adaptors.
I can't believe Marky522 posted his up with a buy-it-now of $150 when he has a link to the manufacturer's sale site in his eBay ad (is there really a sucker born every minute ?)

He had it for 130 I think, including shipping and the case. I didn't think that was too bad..Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

I did the "home made" carb STYX method. I get the carbs pretty damn close with that. There is a thread on here somewhere. Cost me about $6.
