Did you check out their website, HT? I had to laugh 
What year, make, model, and engine size are you using this colortune thing on.
I can see one huge problem with it. You can't tune the engine under load.

Precise tuning device? That will be the day. It's better described as a scam.

What is this thing already asked? NO - you don't tune up things (whatever this is) with passengers in it or on it. What is it?
"Colortune" shows for a name of a manual not the name of a car. I suggest you go to one of their sites for a manual that you said you didn't have??????????????????????
^^^^^^^^^^^^
A pic was there for a kit of some sort,

Colortune contents
Colortune now comes with black and white instructions. If you want to see a copy of the colour instructions click on these links.
Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4.
What is the Colortune?
The Colortune has a clear spark plug that lets you look into the combustion chamber while the engine is firing. The colour of the combustion flame tells you if the mixture is correct. With the carburettor mixture screw you can then adjust the flame colour to get the correct mixture.
The Colortune has colour charts and comprehensive instructions to carry out the job effectively. An effective flame colour - diagnosis section is included in the booklet. Comes complete with periscope for recessed plugs.

Is this air or water cooled? Does it have a temperature gauge? How many cylinders?
