Not to state the obvious (ok I will) but isn't the adjustment valve on
the Unisyn tool to compensate for variable air flows? I was able to set
the valve at such a point that the red indicator was half way up the
tube. Then, without disturbing the set up of the Unisyn, I just make
sure the other carb creates the same airflow. Pretty simple in my case
(my carbs were just rebuilt when I did this, I'm not sure if this would
have had an impact).

A while ago there was a posting indicating that human hearing is not
overly sensitive (for the average human). Thus what "sounds" the same
from two different sources may in fact be miles apart as far as equal
air flow goes.

BTW, this is just my opinion, I do not mean to start an argument.
Basically then Unisyn tool has worked fine for me.
