Mike,
I have a '70 TR6, and like Scott mentioned, they are adjustable. You can
adjust the fast and slow idle settings, and if you have the proper tool,
(an allen like wrench and collar that fits down through the damper
assembly) which enriches or leans out the fuel mixture. The tool costs
about $10.00 and is available from the big three suppliers.
Also, go to the VTR web site, under maintenance for an article on carb
adjusting. Also you can check out the Haynes Techbook on Weber Carbs
since it also has an excellent section on ZS carbs.
Good luck.
