I know most of you folks are fuel injected but can anyone give me any
guidance on setting up the carbs on my 2L twin carb aircooled engine.
The Haynes manual goes into detail of how only the left carb has an idling
circuit and and gives the throttle gap for it as 0.1mm. The idle mixture is
then fed to both minifolds.  Since the other carb apparently has nothing to
do with the engine at idle should the throttle flap on it be fully closed
during idle?
