[T3] Idel Mixture Screw-Solex Carbs


A funny thing happened the other day whiel synchronizing my dual solex
carbs.   I have already rebuilt them.  I adjusted the rpm to around 750
which is where this engine likes to be (there differing opinions on
this).   I adjusted the mixture screw ont he left side by screwing it in
then backing it out until I reached the highest RPM's, then a little
more. Then I did the same on the other side.  This is where the funny
part is.  The rpm increased as I screwed IN the mixture screw.   They
dropped off as I backed it out.  This is completely backwards as I have
ever understood it.    I checked to make sure I had no vacuum leaks. 

What I ended up doing is backing out the mixture screw enough to
minimize a shaking I was having when cruising at part open throttle,
around 1500-2000 rpm.  It still shakes some.  

Any ideas out there?
