Application 

 

The SynchroKing 8

 is a universal vacuum synchronization/balancing tool for both carburetors 

and throttle valve bodies. It is suitable for any combustion engine with up to eight intake ports 
from cars, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, karts, mowers and outboard engines.  The 
SynchroKing 8

 is designed to provide a compact, easy to use and economical synchronisation 

tool for home and workshop use. The SynchroKing 8

 is primarily designed for use with engines 

with eight inlet manifolds but is in principle suitable for any engine with more than one intake. If 
not all eight ports are used, the device will automatically ignore the sensor input from the 
disconnected ports, making it possible to use the device on 2 through 8 manifold engines. The 
device comes with a set  of 8 of each M5 and M6 nipples, enabling easy connection to the 
vacuum test ports on most vehicles   
  
This Owner's manual must be read in conjunction with the Workshop manual of the vehicle 
before using the SynchroKing 8

 . Before proceeding the user should as a minimum be familiar 

with the test ports in the manifolds, the idle adjuster screws and the balancing adjuster screws.

   

 

 

Features:

 

1.  Australian designed and manufactured. 
2.  High quality, robust housing. 
3.  Digital display for vacuum for four vacuum channels. 
4.  Bar displays for differential vacuum display. 
5.  Adjustable bar graph increment. 
6.  Adjustable electronic dampening. 
7.  Automatic active channel detection (20mmHg threshold). 
8.  Selectable number of active channels (8,6,4 or 2). 
9.  No moving parts. 
10.  No battery required. 
11.  Reverse polarity protection. 
12.  Auto calibration function at startup. 
13.  1-year limited warranty for the original Purchaser.
