LOL... It's a tool that you screw in like a spark plug and then it helps you see if your mixture is rich or lean. You can actually see the flame color inside the cylinder and use the color against a chart to see what it means.Originally Posted by bugjuice

Waste of time, seemed like a good idea at the time category.

They still make these? First came out nearly 30 years ago. Bought a set then to set up a race car. Can't remember it being particularly any more effective than taking the plugs out after a run and checking the colour (which is not a hugely reliable indicator at the best of times). Haven't seen one since, probably for good reason.

Bugger that. I'm more worried about what fuel's are. Probably something used to cook egg's and sausage's... (Satirically delivered by the BDOTGNZA)

Sigh. It's such an inoffensive little thing, too.

It's not often you get to see the insides of your motor working.....as thrilling as reality TV.I've got a couple,they only work on old dirty motors....and it's pretty easy to tell when are tuned spot on.You can only use them at idle - apart from the heat range being up the wop and possibly detroying your motor....powerpoles have a habit of jumping into your path if you are staring down at your colourtune.....

Reh? Colour me confused... I have no idea how this works. Now... call me a n00b -- but if you are screwing in some... thing... (what is it? A transparent chunk of glass?) in place of your spark plug how can you see the flame colour inside the cylinder? What will ignite the mixture if you don't have a sparking plug on that cyilnder?

It is a spark plug. But instead of the usual opaque white insulator, it has a transparent insulator. So you can see through it into the combustion chamber.Sort of.

Disagree, I have one of the original sets, ( as in my grandfather worked with the fella ..and I have my grandfathers set ,,,)I can do quite a lot of detective work round the engine ,,THOUGH I will admit they ( IMHO ) tend to read to lean for my comfort , used together with a plug chop they save quite a bit of time.

They were a great idea in the pre - AFM era. As Motu says, they were only useful for idle and no - load readings.

Then a ColorTune is my solution!!!
ColorTune + (24year old motor * bad idle)
= Sweet running motor + fire work show!!!

I think it is a company that used to make mobile compressors over in the good awld US of A. People now dress them up in trinkets & themselves in fake beards & scare small children.
Replace your sparkplug caps & clean the pilot jets/ balance the carbs & stop stuffin' around with gimmicks.
