Haynes gives values for those lengths. Have you the electric shut-off valves? If so, do they work? Low idle is sometimes caused by the balance pipes not being attached, and consequent air-leaks in the manifolds. Have the carbs been cleaned out, or had any work done? Do they appear to be complete - no odd holes where things aren't screwed in? Are the choke heaters working OK? If they won't open properly, that might be the problem. I'll keep thinking. Dave.
