Re: [T3] Carb synchro tool

<x-flowed>No, just one.  You take a reading from all the carbs and get the one 
with the lowest "reading".  Sync the other carbs to the reading of the 
one (base-line) carb.  If they're all outta whack then you tune one carb 
then the rest to that initial carb.

Mine came w/instructions so I follow them.  If it gets to be too much I 
let my carb expert take over (Brian Fye a.k.a. vwfye).  Yes, linkage 
adjustments are but one part of syncing carbs ;-)
