Didn't any instructions come with the carbs?  Sounds as flakey as our D & M 
Big singles!  ggg

IDLE SPEED screws are what controls idle speed!  Not the Mixture screws!

On the drivers side of the LINKAGE crossshaft...disconnect the swivel link 
the goes to the drivers carb.  NOW you can balance and adjust idle speed 
individually!

Question:  What adjustable rod[s]?  Can you explain futher?  The only 
adjustable rod  on  BOTH carbs on a 2 carb engine [ 80-110 hp]  is the Choke rod!  
The accelerator pump and fast idle cam rods [ links]  are not threaded....

Matt.....  confused also!
