I can't claim to be any good at tuning carbs, but I've always found balancing 
them very easy with nothing more than a length of plastic or metal tube about 
3/16" bore put to my ear, listening to each carb in turn.

The clickadjust is an absolute godsend - I bought mine new and unused for a 
couple of quid from another club member. It makes the whole valve adjustment a 
piece of cake,
