<snip> ...
If you simply want to balance the air flow between your carbs, do it like
the old timers used to do it.  Get a piece of hose and put one end against
the carb and listen to the "hiss" through the other end.  Move it from carb
to carb until the "hiss" is the same.

==================
yeah, but none of the manuals actually say what to do. Say my front carb
hiss is louder, do I back off the throttle screw on it or increase the other
one?
Other qualifications, such as "back it off unless the idle speed falls, in
which case increase the back one"?
I think the compression is off on my back 2 cyls so I can't actually get any
hiss at idle on the back carb. Runs OK at speed though (over 1500 revs).
