RE: [T3] On the road again....:)

I agree with Steven A. and Herman on this.  Getting BOTH carbs synch'd, so
they open together the whole way, can be tedious.  Make adjustments to the
carbs small -- it doesn't take much adjusting to get them together or apart
during throttle operation.  On my engine I've found getting up to 2500-3000
will induce "the shakes" the most if the carbs are not properly balanced.
Just takes patience, a steady hand and a good ear (a tach is helpful and a
mechanic to do it for you is even better ;)
