    Hey guys, used to use Thunder tech many years ago for twin cam dyno tunes. 
    Now have a 1996 Evo with a cam, 9.5 pistons, minor headwork, Dyna 2000 ignition and coil, and mikuni carb.... can anyone recommend a good turner that knows and works with carbs and evos?
    Oh, yeah. Perth based, thanks.

    mate there's not much a "Dyno tune" can do for you with an older EVO. There are books around that can help you to help yourself "tune" it

    That's my take on the subject anyways.

    All anyone could do with a bike that age is twiddle the carby

    Thanks, but it had a mikuni carb and programmable ignition, both of which l know nothing about. Better be safe than sorry.  
    Thunder tech are doing it, cheers

    Thunder tech will get you sorted  after all the dyno does not tune the machine  Efi or carbie

    Thundertech dyno tuned my old 2005 FLHR Roadking with a Mikuni carb, got to say they had that running sweet for many years, very happy with their service.

    OK, not time for a "big dick swinging" match, but on numerous occasions I have had Harleys running way better after $HUNDREDS worth of "Dyno time".

    And yes, that was from " bit like pushing buttons on a laptop lol".

    I have watched "Dynos" being done , and thought silently to myself "By fuck that is NEVER being done to my bike!"...

    One of the other older riders in our group had several hundred $ plus a "stage 3" done to his 103 Dyna , and my "stock" 110 Softail SPANKED it.

    He was verging on distraught , sought and GOT a full refund from the "un-named" Perth WA Dyno specialist.

    I got his bike running way better "pushing buttons on a laptop" in 15 minutes and that included taking the side cover of LOL..

    Fixed his fuel consumption at the same time , it was woeful. he had dropped over 50K's to a tank , that's a LONG push !

    That was part of my point a good tuner could tune a carbie at set points with more acceptable afr s 
     With the use  of a dyno or afr gauge  with jets and screwdriver which would be / should be 
    Better than just winging it  if you can do it on the rd great  a dyno is just a tool  like 
    #2 philips or timing light   In this day and age laptop is the screw driver  I’ll go swing my dick 
    I the sun  now  lol
