I do it the African way using a piece of vacuum tubing ...one end in the carb intake, one end in my ear. Fiddle around until they all hiss the same.

Of course, that's not the most accurate, but it works.

I don't have a set of gauges any more.

long clear tube, attached to a broom or yard stick, filled about a foot and a half with transmission fluid, or oil. Play until the levels are the same.

go buy a mity vac at autozone, 20 buck, has a vacuum gauge, also has a vacuum pump. Both very useful tools.
