I have used a Carb Stix for over 30 years (pro/hobby), the graduations are roughly 0.80in/2cm apart. I'm not saying the Carb Tune doesn't work, it just looks like it wouldn't be as accurate?

EDIT:
http://www.carbtune.co.uk/inst.html
"The manometer must be used vertically for a scale starting at 8cmHg (centimetres of mercury. 1 inch=2.5cm 1cm=0.4inches)"

"The full width scale lines on the gauge are 2cmHg apart and most factories specify the total difference between the lowest and highest readings should be 2cmHg."

So if I'm getting this correctly, the lines roughly represent the same graduation between the Carb Stix and the Morgan...WOW my guage is 22in/55.88cm tall. So the little window on the Carb Tune represents roughly the 22in/55.88cm on the Carb Stix. To make it as accurate as a Carb Stix the Carb Tune would have to be as big as the Ninja itself.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, have I missed something or am I looking at it the wrong way?
