How do you sync these carbs? I have the gauges but can't get them even.

Take off he carb to filter rubbers and hold throttle wide open and set both slides so the bottom of slide is level at top of intake using the cable adjusters, then wind out both tickover adjusters and hold the throttle so bike is ticking over and wind in each screw individualy until it just picks up on that slide and back a tad(official Honda increment!)

Yes that worked great. The left carb was adjusted to open a lot more than the right. Thanks for the help.
