For the fourth time I have reassembled the carbs for our Valkyrie 2002.
I have a question on how I did them before I finish reassembly.
Between the #3 & #5 carburetors the linkage is my question...is #5 attached to #3?
Maybe a video or pic is a better way to explain/show my issue?
I have forgotten how to insert a pic/vid maybe an e-mail is better?
Thank you I really need to ride soon... Embarrassed

Well, #5 carb certainly should be connected to #3, but you didn't make clear what your question about the linkage is. To insert a picture or video, look at the two rows of icons above the text box you type into,,, second row, far left,, click on it and copy and paste address of pic or video where the cursor is.

You have it assembled incorrectly.  The adjustment screw is supposed to be working against another part. Your video

shows it is not in the mix whatsoever. The part it works against looks to be outside and above. That screw is the idle

adjustment for that particular side.

Popsk41,

Since I just finished doing this over the weekend... Here is your pic marked up for correct position.

Yes, as you have it drawn is correct. The screw pushes against the tab with the spring behind the tab.
