Setting up carbs- from rebuild to running sweetly

You should be using the Carbtune to get the highest vacuum for each barrel by adjusting the idle mixture screws before balancing the carbs. If you've not done this you won't get a proper balance. 3.5 turns is a good starting point but each barrel can vary.

Excuses the gold in the engine bay. When I started the air box and turbo pipe were also gold! Also, excuse the amount of PXL_20220119_132240521.thumb.jpg.42a2dd574a284a966f4bffbedc2d303d.jpg

Just noticed, you've over tightened the carb mounting nuts. There needs to be an equal gap of a couple of mm between the manifold, spacer & carb in order to allow the rubber O rings to absorb the vibration when running.

Cheers,
