Default Open Plenum Tunnel Ram

In the old tripower days, we used a synchronizer gauge on top of the carb and adjusted the air screws so that each carb sucked the same amount of air at idle. Then adjusted each mixture screw the same amount, a little at the time. Took quite a while and the adjustments needed monthly touch ups.

yea i'm still running a little rich. the cutting off fuel to one doesn't work. someone needs to invent a devise for dividing the plenum when adjusting. would make things alot easier. sick
