Carb float tool

[Oberon]

Has anyone made their own tool to check the float level on the carbs? I would like to check mine and syncronize them. S.A.V. sells one but they want $96 for the tool. It doesn't look like there is much to it other than the fitting, some clear plastic tube and a little bracket. Just wondering if someone had any tips on how to one?

It's actually less than $27 http://www.swissarmyvehicles.com/showde ... 053321010/ and in stock.

Actually I was in the process of ordering one today with Sarah at S.A.V. and she quoted me a price of $96. I told her that the price on their website was only $27 and she said that the price had gone up from her supplier. They do have a few in stock, and she said that they are looking for another supplier, but when the suppliers price goes up, S.A.V.'s price goes up. That's why I posted about fabricating my own. That seems awful expensive for about $10 worth of materials.
If anyone knows the proper dimensions or where to get a cheaper one, please let me know.

OH CRUD! I've been putting off buying one and the synchronizer. That and the rediculously expensive tool for bleeding the front brakes.

Same issue with limiter straps, $120 is now $159 and Sarah said to look for $300 soon
