Right. One of the videos I posted earlier shows the balancing being done without the stacks in place so I guess its possible. I did the dance...
Forgot to mention that the kits from MIE came with 2 gaskets for that bottom plate.
My carbs also had the plates sandwiched between two gaskets. I didn't hook up my linkage until I finished the balancing between carbs. I'd try...
Just remembered that there was another vacuum line at the rear of the engine that went to the vacuum gauge on the dash but I never disconnected...
I haven't opened the hood that far yet but I remember seeing a very vague description on how to in the manual. I didn't remove the lines with...
That's the readers digest version. ;-) Here's what I did: 1. set the idle screws one full turn out after it first touches the throttle lever on...

Oh. Then ignore my previous reply. I'm guessing they checked for a good spark?
I forgot all about that micro switch! Yes I have one also but forgot to be sure it was adjusted after setting up the idle. Thanks for reminding...
William, Have they checked the large starter wire at the connector to the battery. Not just the battery terminal but where the wire goes into the...
1. Each carb has 4 bolts. You'll need a very small opened end/box end wrench. The front most bolt on the driver's side almost seems impossible to...
Thanks! A couple of things: 1. Watch for the cut ear on the front carb cover. See red circles in first pic. 2. The airflow meter I bought...
