When I first set-up my 2 stock carbs, I had success using a
Colortune...which lets you see (roughly) what the mixture is in each cylinder.

Tim---I don't know if I can help or not, but let's go over a few
things..First, you paid $ to have an air/fuel monitor. Situations such
as you described are exactly why they are sold to after market users.
Get the blasted thing connected, for starters.
Having only one sensor sending info about three carburetor mixes won't
make it easy to sort out what it's telling the monitor. As you must
know, the exhaust could now be a mixture of two rich carbs and one lean
one, for example. You'll need to look at your sparkplugs to make sure of
even coloring. Anytime one goes it alone when modifying an engine can
find themselves wondering if the did the right thing! OK, enough with
the philosophy....... (cut)
