If a pro rebuilt the carbs, I'd guess that they are already set. Part
of the rebuild is setting them up mechanically. BTW, which carbs are they?
I'd suggest you find TDC on #1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
(both valves closed) and check to see that the rotor is pointing at the
#1 terminal on the dizzy cap. Then set your static timing.
Cheers,
