Subject:      Re: sychroning carbs

Use a long pvc pipe and "listen" to each of your carbs (filter 
removed). Ideally you are looking for a similar pitch from each carb 
adjusting each carb's idle mixture screw.  It 
does work; I use it on my KG Kadron dual carbs.

 This advice was passed on 
to me by a mechanic who worked on MG's for years...
It IS cheaper than  buying  a  unisyn - DC
