These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

First, I set timing, adjust cam chain tension, and then I tune at idle with mercury manometer, then check at 2500-3000rpm, using the idle screw to adjust RPM.
I then fiddle with it a bit to get the closest they can be at both rpm's.
I have noted on my bike, the cyl 1 carb sucks a higher vacum than the others at idle, but the same at 3000rpm as the others when i only tune for 3000rpm, and #1 can be equal at idle, but end up haveing less vacuum at 3000.
So i split it, and if anything have it pull a slightly bit more equal with the other carbs at 3000 than idle, it makes a little difference IMO in overall performance, ON MY bike.

But then again, i was balsy(foolish?) enough to drill out a few of the air passages on these carbs while they were totally dismantled.

YOU YOUNG GUYS HAVE TO GIVE US OLD FARTS A WARNING.  YOU CAN'T JUST POST BIKE PHOTOS WITH CHICKS.  Some old guy is out there right now "air humping" because  you did not warn him. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!  that is the funniest damn thing I ever read here. ;D
