You turn the small brass hexagon headed screws that are down the very bottom
of the carbs, where the throttle shaft is. With the carbs installed on the
engine, these are pointing towards the sides of the car.
You need some sort of device to measure the air flow, which you put over
the top of the carb throat, where the air cleaner usually fits on. Start off
by putting the device on one side, and take note of the measurement that it
gives, and you should have the same for the other side, if one side is
higher than the other, adjust that side down, to get a slower idle, if you
want a faster idle, adjust the one with the lower measurement up.
If you don't have any meter to measure the air flow, another method is
to use a tube, which you put near the throat of the carb and listen for the
airflow, until you get it the same on the both sides. Just make sure that
the engine is timed correctly first, because if it backfires through the
carbs you will be deaf in no time!
