Hi Gary
I'm going to try your suggestion of running the engine at 1400 rpm and then play with the idle mixture screws. I was sent one of the synchrometer gauges but no info on how to use it. So my plan was to use it and see what the air flow is. I know that when I used it at idle all of the stacks read 5.5. Say that it now reads 7.5. I'm assuming that as I turn the mixture screw the reading will go up or down, and that I'm trying to adjust to a steady reading and where the engine noise sounds the best. I will have to do this one stack at a time. A motorcycle guy told me that he was able to adjust his mixture by adjusting the float level on his carb which was similar to a weber. Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see how the float level could change the mixture. Unless maybe it was set too high and fuel would bleed over. Thanks for the help.
Paul
