I recently found out that I had a bosh 009 which explained a lot of
hesitations I experience.  I found out after I started messing around with
my carbs as well and screwed the synch.  Look at your dizzy and see how many
things are attached to the outside of it.  If there is only a cylindrical
piece (condenser) with a wire on it then it's an 009.  If it has the
cylindrical piece plus a bigger conical piece (vacuum canister), then it
isn't.

This is an 009

There are some good sites that have information about adjusting dual carbs
which helped me a lot to get started.  Here are a couple:

(This link used to work but somehow it isn't now, you may want to send the
Webmaster - Everett - feedback to get the link fixed:

The other link is:

(Although this is not Type III specific it will still help you understand
the process.)

Hope this helps,
