Carbs are sync'ed manually using individual cables Nigel. No provision for use of vac guages (that I know of anyway) like the fours.

'Possibly look at opening the static tickover rpm to lift it slightly, then make idle circuit richer to calm it down, that can give better "quenching" of throttle shut idle establishment.'
- Just going out now but will have a go at that tomorrow

Are the idle adjustment within decent range when you set the screws ?
- they decrease revs when screwed in or out from 3/4 turn out setting - (3/4 turn out is half way ish from engine hesitation when screwed in or out) but not sure if thats a decent range?

It's possible that you need to start with something like 2 turns out for idle mixture adjust.

Then adjust the tickover speed first (presumably there's a stop screw in each carb for static baseline speed) to see if it  gives competent running and speed with throttle closed. 

Then assessment from there.
