Motion Pro Synch Tool Problem

LeftBase said:

I just bought a new Motion Pro synch tool to go ahead and do the throttle body synch on my 06 FJR. BTW, thanks to all who'd posted the photo rich instructions. Informative and easy to follow. I unpacked the new tool today and assembled it, followed directions, didn't have any odd parts left over.
When I went to calibrate it, I used a vacum pump instead of the #1 cylinder to hook up the calibration manifold and adjust the columns of fluid. At about 12 in. hg., the fluid in each column was infused with bubbles, and it looked like a murky reading to me. Don't really want to trust it without a clean column of fluid.

Several hours later, there's still bubbles and spots of fluid in the tubes.

This normal?? Did I miss something?

Hmm. I wonder if the fluid is temperature-sensitive. It was quite warm (85-90) when I used mine, maybe if it's cooler the fluid is "thicker"?
Put it out in the sun and try again. You have sun in oregon, right? Sometimes?

I got one and had one tube do similar. I just blew in it a bit and hung it up for a day or so and it settled out. Wish I had bought the Morgan Carbtune.
