However, I removed both air filters and saw that both pistons were
3/4's of
the way down and opened in sync. when the rpmmmm's were increased. I
had
already ball-parked their fast (or is it their slow) idle adjustment.
Does
this sync. suggest that they were needle-height-ok-adjusted?
==AM==
At the least, it suggests that the two carbs are synchronized to each
other, which is very good, but it doesn't necessarily mean one isn't
still a bit richer (or leaner).
==AM==
After running it at various low rpmmm's I shut it off with the KEY
SWITCH! I
removed all the plugs and they all looked equally flat sooty straight
black.
Does this mean turns of the jet adjustments equally up or is it down?
==AM==
Possibly rich, which means turning the jets up a bit...but just basing
plug color on sitting and tuning in the garage or driveway isn't the
most reliable way. Driving some distance and rechecking would be a
better measure, I'd think.
==AM==
BTW- One plug was a Champion L182Y. Any difference?
==AM==
Than what? A Champion L87Y (which is the typical recommended plug, and
it's a bit hotter than the L82Y)? or another brand altogether in the
other three cylinders???

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
