I know enough to disconnect the linkage between the carbs, borrow my buddy's
gizmo that attaches to the throat of the carb and tells how much they suck
(air) but then I am lost.  Can somebody provide really simple instructions?

I guess I should provide some symptoms.  At idle the motor bucks shimmies
and shakes.  At speed it runs just fine.  My limited knowledge and a couple
of car buddies think the carbs are out of balance.  Also, the RPMs are
running higher than normal at idle but at times will drop back to around 800
- 1000 RPMs.

Of course the old gal has been rode hard this summer we made several long
rides to our favorite car events in the region.

Thanks!

Mike
