To sync the slides, I stich a finger in one carb and watch
the other. When the feel/see movement is the same, you're
there.

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
plug
 off the LH side cylinder and to adjust the RH carb, it
is fine. When I
take
 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?
