I used to have all kinds of problems with my old 1500S Squareback's 
linkage until I followed Elfrink's advice and reset the left rod to 
342mm and the right one to 99mm (102mm up to 10/64 according to 
Elfrink). It made a huge difference. Apparently the car had a lot of 
improvisational carb adjustments over the years.
