Will one of the cheaper vacuum gauges on amazon work well enough for tuning my carb? Or do I need a professional one?

You're not looking so much for absolute numbers as much as highest readings when setting up a carb (I assume you are setting the 4-corner idle), so I don't think anything fancy is needed. Certainly not pro quality. I picked up the vacuum/pressure gauge setup at Harbor Freight. As I recall it was less than $20. Only used a couple times, and it was fine.
