McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
On the subject of bench synching I tried something Ken sort of put in my head - I will not know if it works until I start the 500 up in a couple of months.
Instead of using a 1mm drill shaft as I did on the 400 I've gone for the zero option. As soon as I detected a lifting of the first slider I locked it off and moved onto carbs 2,3 &4. Effectively I was aiming for a hairs width of movement - then using the main throttle stop to give me a 1mm gap. My thinking is that the smaller the gap the smaller the potential error. Plenty of thread on the main throttle idle stop screw to lift the sliders to the 1 mm point. It might of course not maintain the slider gaps. If it's a disaster then it will need doing properly with a synch gauge.
Bryanj:
Ted, your way is fine, just lift the slides with the tickover screw and use the drill shank to see if they have all moved the same
