the cold air intake and with a flat screw driver lift each carbi piston about
1/4 at a time and note the rpm drop; a larger rpm drop indicates a richer 
mixture
on that carburettor, a lesser drop indicates a leaner mixture on that 
carburettor
(on the bing units any rpm difference may indicate a worn main needle
or jet, or a manifold air leak)...same diagnostic test can be done at idle 
too...
make sure the air balancing has been done first and both damper pots have
the correct oil level


Hello Area-51,

Just out of curiosity, what does this mention of damper pots oil level 
refers to?

In my experience that was a feature of SU carbs, not Bing. Or am I 
missing something?

Thanks,
