I have come across this tool called colortune and looked at a couple of threads from a few years ago but was wondering if anyone had used one.

It is a see through spark plug which allows you to see the colour of the flame when the engine is running so you can set the mixture.

Do they work well on outboards, has anyone used one?

They retail for about ?40 here in the UK but I got mine on ebay for ?13 delivered so not too much to try out. It should be here in the next day or 2.

I will post pictures and a review on here.

Re: Colortune

actually never heard of it. the newer motors have fixed jets, so there are no adjustment.
