Hey cat,
Some of us have and use the Morgan Carbtune
The two cylinder is about $75 US and the 4 is about $98 US.
Excellent product and I highly recommend it.
They are relatively easy to use. The throttle linkage adjustment screw between the carbs is a bit of a pain to get to but overall, not a very difficult job.

Second BonnyUSA on the Morgan Carbtune, shipping is really fast for it coming across the Pond, it is very easy to prepare and hook-up, and the mercury columns are very easy to pick up on

I have the 4 carb version of the Morgan as well. I bought mine from this sport-touring compnay in California;
http://www.casporttouring.com/store/merchant.mvc?
Pretty good service and quick shipping.
Worked like a charm on my Trophy which now runs smooth as silk. I'm going to use it on the BA as soon as I finish the rest of the work I'm doing.

The motion pro unit that brent sales works well enough and is a little cheaper than the other. It also works on two three or four cylinder engines.

Hey Pat,
I made one of those and it worked like crap. I started with Killians Red (wouldn't drink it) and then switched to oil. 
The problems:
- you have to pull the tubes quickly off the vacuum ports at the same time while the motor is running or you will suck fluid into a carb
- if you turn it off while they are still connected, the last stroke as the motor stops rotating will suck fluid into that carb
- they have to have a restriction (a reducing tube) as the vacuum makes the fluid pulse and dance too much (doesn't friggin sing, though!)
Ask me how I know these things! 
I bought a Morgan and threw the darn thing away. An excellent investment on the Morgan for an operation I perform about once a month.
...and if I am not mistaken, you have a Morgan too!

Phil,
I have the Morgan unit as well and agree with you but if you were going to try this thing I would think your best bet would be to clamp the tubes some way (vise-grips or pliars??)with the motor running so when you shut the bike off it wouldn't be able to suck anything in.

I probably should have but that would have bumped the cost substantially!
I figure it this way, you get what you pay for!

Phil,
I never said I did have one of those things, but they are the cheapest way to go. If there were some restrictors, like in our Carbtunes, they would work fine, even with beer. And we all know, it's not a job until after at least one beer.
