One way is to use a Uni-syn which is sort of a barometric flow meter. You
place it over each carb inlet and adjust for the same reading on the air column
indicator. Available cheap at most foriegn auto supplies.

There are those color tune spark plugs. They have a transparent insulator
window so you can actually see the color of the flame in the combustion
chamber. Of course there are exhaust gas sniffers ranging from affordable to
way too expensive.
I use the plug cut method. You go out and find a good secluded staight and
make several WOT passes. At the end of each pass you kill the ignition. You
then pull the plugs and tune by color of the insulator. I'm not sure if this
works well for throttle setting other than wide open and it does nothing for
getting the idle mixture right.
I'd like to hear what methods the others on the list use.
