Hi Bob,
        I've got the unisyn and am familar with its use from balancing my
SU's.  I actually don't understand the exact procedure for balancing the carbs.
ie what screw to turn first and what screws in all to adjsut???  Feel like 
being a little bit more verbose???
                Thanks,
                Daniel 69 2000
