The carbs weren't far off initially, and it idled better afterward. I have no hesitation whatsoever on acceleration, which was something that always bothered me before the new ignition system was installed and the carbs were synchronized. Anyone can do this, it isn't rocket science!
I have the Zenith carbs with the big idle mixture screws, and discovered the sweet spot is exactly one turn out. I set all 4 like this and it doesn't vibrate, very smooth. I wish I had a gas analyzer to tell me how close the setting really is to optimum.
I painted the carbs with Eastwood carburetor paint, but am going to try yellow chromate on another pair of carbs to see how well it works. I'm thinking the finish would be more like the factory finish with that.
