[TR] Balancing the Carbs

[John Mitchell]

 From the other replies that I've gotten, I'm told to loosen, balance at 
850 and tighten.  The choke is adjusted with just the fast idle screws 
while it's connected.  I haven't really had a good explanation about the 
idle adjustment at 1500, but it seems if I do a good job at 850, then at 
1500 it's pretty close.  John
