can you get the RH side to tick over nice & slow on it's own if you screw in
the throttle stop? both sides should be capable of this independantly. then
connect both sides HT leads & tickover should be synched but a bit high.
turn both screws back an equal ammount & it should be right.
hesitation off idle is probably different ammounts of slack in the throttle
cables causing 1 slide to rise ahead of the other. equalising this is more
tricky: you can look to see cables have the same ammount of slack (easy but
not desperately accurate) or take off air cleaner & watch slides rise when
throttle is opened (very hard to see, even with a mirror). if you have large
hands it may be possible to feel movement.
i used the above methods for years 'til i bought a set of vacuum guages.
much, much quicker & easier & very accurate.

Subject: Eldo carb adjustment question
| I tried to adjust my carbs using the method described in the workshop manual, and can't get it quite right. When it instructs me to take the |
| off the LH side cylinder and to adjust the RH carb, it is fine. When I |
| the plug off the RH cylinder, it does not run as easily and will stall unless I get the RPMs up more. I have the initial settings on the mixture screws as 1 1/2 turns out on the LH, and 1 3/4 on the RH carb. Is this a good way to set the carbs or not? My question because although it starts and runs good, there is a bit of hesitation when I hit the throttle from idle. Ideas anyone?
