Well Jeff, it sounds like the rear carb throttle plate is fully closed. you
need a "unisyn" which is an air flow meter that measures the air going into
each carb. Loosen the couplings between the two throttles and adjust the
idle set screws until you get the same reading at both carbs. Retighten the
throttle couplings and proceed from there.
