Just wondering what tool you guys use to do this adjustment? Is it possible to just use any of those mercury types that are out there? Does it have to be the fancy Triumph gadget?

a lot of folks use either a Morgan carbtune (like I did, good tool) or make a homemade tool w/mercury. the carbtune is easier to use, in my opinion, but it's a little expensive, I think about 120 bucks after conversion (it's made by a british manuf and I purchase it off their website).

Just completed a 12k service on my O1. Purchased a Motion Pro - Sync Pro Carb Tuner. It goes for about 89.00 at Pitt Supply 866-447-6773. Works perfectly. If you or anybody else purchases this device, when assembling push the brass restrictors further up the hose than what is called for in the directions. Go about 1 1/2". The IAC ports are considerablly larger than the I.D. of the hose and when the tube is stretched over the ports it can allow the brass restrictors to dislodge and take a short and very quick trip into a cylinder. Don't ask how I found this out!
