New member with a big leak.

Right, so I’m mostly done on cleaning and preparing the carbs for being reinstalled.
Question, while I’m waiting on a sync tool, is there some sort of pre calibration suggested to get her running decently before fully syncing the carbs with the adequate tools?

Unless you messed with the throttle sync screws they will be exactly where you had them when you took the carbs off. As far as the pilot screw the manual tells you to turn it until it until it lightly seats and then back it out 2 and 1/4 turns.

That’s what I did for the pilot screw indeed. But since i completely torn down the carbs, and I didn’t want to lose small parts, yeah I removed the throttle sync screw and associated springs.

You can do this to get an initial sync. Mechanical sync
Once you have it all together you can then use your choice of vacuum gauges or a manometer to finish syncing.

Oh damn, yeah even the service manual doesn't give any help on that but the video posted from D ray seems like a good place to start. In case anyone is reading this in the future there's no need to take the throttle sync screws or springs off, the carbs can be cleaned and rebuilt with them still attached.
