<VV> Surprise surprise / Carb Balance Linkage adjustment?

[Hugo Miller]

Dunno. Never done it. The left linkage on mine has a screw thread 
adjuster. I would have thought it was obvious - or am I missing 
something? Just screw it in or out till both butterflies are doing the 
same thing?
Another thing I do is put my hand behind each exhaust tail pipe 
(assuming you have twin exhausts). They should feel the same. That's a 
pretty good indicator of ignition timing also - the exhaust pressure 
feels too high if it's retarded.
