Jim, there's a good tech article on the VTR site about adjusting your
SU's at:

AFA rebuilds the factory manual might be fine for you.
What exactly happens when you try to start? Not that you might not need
to rebuild the carbs, but there are a lot of reasons for hard starting
besides the carbs. Are you getting fuel to the carbs? Set the timing?
Tested the starter? Are you getting spark?
