Gunsons distribute out of Sydney. Get Supercrap to order one in for you.

I got mine from Mini Spares some years ago and it was a lot cheaper than buying it here.

I believe Hardimans in Sydney sell Gunson stuff. I've always fancied one of Gunson's Easibleed kits and their exhaust gas analyser.

I was hoping someone would have answered you but.... so here goes

The Gunsons colourtune is a park plug like affair with a glass top that lets you see the colours of the petrol burning in a running motor. Too rich a petrol mixture burns at a different colour to too lean a petrol mixture and so on.

You replace a normal spark plug with a colourtune, start the motor and adjust the mixture of the carby depending on the colour of the petrol burning. A very handy litrtle tool.

I have had one for many many years and would be without it.
