<VV> Carb Balance < 2000rpm

[Daniel Monasterio González]

   By reading this topic, I think (with some ingenuity)Š Why favouring
higher draft on right carburetor instead of taking vacuum from both
carburetors by adding a tee and some more rubber vacuum line to actuate
vacuum advance ?
This way both carbs (and banks) could be equaly balanced at all speeds. Is
this too easy to be good ?
