Best results may be obtained with the following procedure:

1.  Remove carbs from the car.

2.  Disassemble and clean carbs thoroughly in carb cleaner.

3. Compare the components of the carbs to insure that each carb is using 
identical parts.

4.  Reassemble the carbs with new gaskets and components wherever necessary.

5.  Carefully place the carbs on the weight scales of a triple balance beam 
scale.

6.  Adjust any weight difference by grinding metal away from the body of the 
heavier carb.

7.  Replace carbs on the car and connect all linkages and lines.

8.  Add oil to the dashpot.

9.  Set mixture screw at 10 "Flats" from closed.

10. Start car and idle at 780 RPMs.

11. Enrich mixture screw until the engine begins to run faster.

12. Lean mixture screw until the engine begins to miss.

13. Enrich mixture screw one to two flats from the point where the engine 
began missing.

14. If the above procedure does not produce the desired results consult a 
LBC mechanic.



Best regards,
Tom
