My grandfather who tuned racing engines in the 1950's and 60's succesfully balanced twin carb setups by listening to bellmouth intakes using a piece of tubing held at 90 degrees to the intake.

Mike550  I didn't mean to derail your original question, apologies if I've rambled off somewhere else.

I do like cleaning and setting carbs though and there's something quite thereputic about going through them and getting them working at their best and enjoying a nice smooth ride out.

Also they are a nicely engneered setup to work on.
