One question. You said that you will first adjust  #4 to #3, then #1 to #2 and then #3 to #2, but if you do that won't #4 no long be adjusted to #3?

[Steve in Sunny Fla]

No, because when you adjust 3 you don't affect the 3-4 adjustment. effectively adjusting 3 moves both 3 and 4 the same amount. Steve

A lot of folks get tripped up on that. BTDT.

Steve, now that you are a star, I see that the studio is taking advantage of you and has you really cranking them out.

Nice one Steve from here OTP. 

Just one question - your comments about 1 & 4 being higher than 2 & 3. Advisable or should we  aim to get all four level and the same?

[Steve in Sunny Fla]

I really prefer to pull the rpm's up around 4k and trim the settiing abit, then drop to idle and see what it yields. Sometimes you can get the sync to stay pretty close across the board. what you see there was the result of that - best all around, and the differences were really very minute. there' alot of ways to skin the cat, no way is the "only" way. HTH, steve

Steve, please forgive a newb's questions...what's that syncing device you have that reads all 4 simultaneously? Brand name, maybe the source?

[Steve in Sunny Fla]

I was going to ask about that - I set the vacuum at 4-5K rpm. In a perfect world, I'd use the mixture screws to perfect the idle, but they're hard to adjust and the idle's always been acceptable.

Great vid!
