Linkage adjustment is certainly very important, but it's not the only 
factor. Syncing carbs properly involves balancing fuel and air across 
the rpm range, and fine details matter. You can get them to run passably 
by eyeballing things, but getting it *right* requires a close eye on how 
they draw and some hands-on experience. I encourage every new dual-carb 
owner to find a dual-carb maven, preferably a Porsche-certified working 
mechanic over 50 with a German accent, and spend the money to have him 
do your base setup and show you the tricks that you can't get from any 
book. Leaving aside the education you'll get, what you save in time, 
frustration and fuel will be well worth it.
