Absolutely! This would give you two tools in one.

A traditional vacuum gauge can be useful in any repair shop for diagnosing a large variety of automotive issues.

To do this, just connect one of the hoses and ignore the others to get a highly accurate vacuum reading.  

Generally, the answer is YES if you have a performance vehicle.

Our product works on any carburetor or throttle body that has a vacuum port where you can connect our hoses. Some older styles, such as Bing CV and Holley carburetors (found on many muscle cars), do not have this port and must be measured from the mouth of the carburetor, requiring a different style tool.

The Digi Sync would not be used for synchronization on any vehicle with a single carburetor or throttle body. Generally speaking, these are non-performance vehicles. This includes most Harley Davidson’s and basic automobiles.

Many people try to overcomplicate this. Even your shop manual likely explains dialing your numbers into a specific range. In reality, the actual value isn’t important. What is important is getting all the numbers to match (be synchronized with) one another at the desired RPM (typically idle).

It’s really that simple! Doing this will ensure your engine runs optimally.

Some engines, particularly older engines, simply won’t allow for precision synchronization. The Digi Sync simply lets you get these numbers to match as closely as your machine will allow.

In general values within 1-2 kPa of each other are considered very good. But even values differing by as much as 8 kPa can still lead to decent results.

Typically, the values shown on The Digi Sync are reasonably stable, but they can bounce around for the following reasons:

1. You have an air leak with your tool installation. Push the hoses tightly into the unit. Make sure they don’t pop off the unit with a light tug. Also, make sure the hoses are securely connected to your machine. Use clamps if necessary.
2.  You have an air leak on your machine. Check for air leaks on the entire intake system.
3.  This highly accurate instrument is indicating there is another issue with your vehicle. An example of this woudl be burnt fuel valves.

Press and hold the power button to cycle through the following units:

• kPa (default at every power-up)
• mBar
• InHg (x10)
• mmHg
• PSI (x10)
• DigiSync Ver<3.1 (these values correlate with older Digi Sync units)

Our DS3+ model has greatly improved this issue, but this can still happen if the hose is pulled with enough force. Do not worry, the unit is not damaged and you can easily push the hose back into place with a firm twisting motion.

Note: Starting in late 2024, our hoses have an installation marking line. If you can see the line, it means the hoses has come out of the unit slightly and needs to be pushed back in.

You are likely pressing the button too quickly. Try again with good firm press. 

Additional Info: The unit was intentionally designed this way to keep costs down by utilizing one button for many actions. The software measures the time the button was pressed. Several quick presses are used to disable to the auto-power down feature. A long press and hold is used to cycle between the units displayed.

Yes, the 6-channel version will work on engines with 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 carbs or throttle bodies.

Note: When not using a channel, leave the hose hanging freely. Do NOT cap it off.

Yes! AND, it comes with a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee!

We take great pride and stand behind our American-made products. The Digi Sync digital vacuum gauge is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. We will repair or replace the equipment (at our option) provided you have followed the usage instructions and not abused your device.

Note: Longer warranty periods are also available for purchase.

A standard 9V battery should last approx. 10-15 hours of operation. 

If you forget to turn your unit off, no worries because the Digi Sync is programmed to automatically shutdown after 1 hour of inactivity. 

Press the power button 4 times QUICKLY to toggle the auto shutdown feature.

Note: You can optionally replace the 9V battery with a 9VDC power adapter so you never have to replace the battery. We do not sell this adapter, but they are easily found online.

Yes. It is extremely rare that customers need to replace the hoses. However if needed, the vacuum tubing is 5/32″ ID and can be purchased at any automotive supply store. Just be sure to keep the length of each hose as close as possible to each other.

Yes, we sell these separately on our Amazon store (https://amzn.to/4g7QaHH). 

If your bike is more than a few years old, chances are that your vacuum caps may be cracked and brittle from aging making them prone to ripping when you pull them off. We’ve added these replacement vacuum caps for free as a courtesy hoping it’ll save you a trip to the dealer.

This can be a very useful tool when installing the M5 or M6 Adapters on your Throttle Body or Carb.

Simply place the adapter into one end of the tube and use it as an extension to reach the threaded port hole and screw in the adapter using the short tube.

The internal magnet allows users stick The Digi Sync to metal gas tanks or even the frame of their machine. 

Older versions of The Digi Sync used custom units that will show approximately 26 without the engine running. Starting with software version 3.1, The Digi Sync now powers-up showing units in kPA and should be between 0.0 and 2.0 with the engine off.

Very sorry, but we do NOT offer software upgrades at this time. Despite it being cost prohibitive, there are sometimes hardware changes between versions that would make the newer software versions incompatible with older versions of hardware. We are always innovating and will keep this feature request in-mind for the future.

Sorry, but no. We only play “Red-light, Green-light” on our bikes at the stoplights. Our Hexapod logo is uniquely our own creation many years before “Squid Game” was aired on TV.
