If I recall correctly the carbs are set at the factory while hooked up to a flow meter and set accordingly; not even sure if there is an engine involded...
it's not.
the engine that is, the carbs all came from bins,preset on fixture, and assembled into a rack. some were 2 turns out, some were 1/8 turn out, I have seen combo's on a rack between almost totally shut off, and 3 turns out, with the plugs installed... and that's just the way they shipped...
now, fast forward, and pull the plugs out, turn them all in, and back them out 1-1/2, to 2 turns, keeeping them equal, and you will find nirvana...
after a rebuild using the K&L needles and seals, back them out 2-1/2 turns, or slightly more.....the taper on the K&L kit's needle is different than the stock one, and needs a bit different adjustment parameter. I only did about 20 of those...Bubba can tell you more, as he does it more frequently than I.
