What is the Colortune?
The Colortune has a clear spark plug that lets
you look
into the combustion chamber while the engine is firing. The colour of
the
combustion flame tells you if the mixture is correct. With the
carburettor mixture screw you can then adjust the flame colour to get
the correct mixture.
The Colortune has colour charts and comprehensive
instructions to carry out the job effectively. An effective flame
colour - diagnosis section is included in the booklet. Comes complete
with periscope for recessed plugs.
Take the guesswork out of engine tuning with the
Colortune.
The world famous glass topped spark plug that
gives you a window into the combustion chamber so you can see the
flame.
Why is this important? The flame's colour tells
you the richness of the air/fuel ratio. A yellow flame means a rich
mixture and a blueish white flame a weaker mixture. Usually a bunsen
blue flame is spot on.
The Colortune is so simple that anyone can use
it. It
works on the principle that certain fuel mixtures burn with a certain
color.
The Colortune will work on both motorcycles and
cars with carburettors. Just adjust the mixture screw to get the
correct flame colour.
Also works on injection systems that have a
mixture adjuster.
Mainly older injection systems.
The Colortune comes in 3 spark plug thread sizes.
10mm, 12mm and 14mm. (Most cars are 14mm)
