Last job is to balance the carbs, and I can't seem to get it right

[Hugh Mungus]

Find the basic settings (must be in a book somewhere or on internet if one of these fine folk don't know.) Set all the carbs to the same settings, adjust throttle cable and idle screw. Then start the balancing process again.
No need to take anything apart. Yet...

ok so this controversial thread rears its ugly head again but on a positive note
my gran (bless her) handed me cash on the deal that i only used it on something for my garage and to enhance my side business
deal i thought so a new set of sockets and a CARBTUNE later i had some work ahead of me
first test came with all kinds of trouble and i knew i had big problems
https://youtu.be/COCTPbbPHeE
after some work i found the problem and someone either cocked up earlier in its life or the fazer has a self moving spring

whatever balancing tool you have or are going to get, first buy some extra long screwdrivers it will make your life so much easier - mine just arrived today so i will do it again at some point as i will have better ability to adjust but things are much better now
- this is definatly a worthwile job doing because things are so much better now

Tip....a 3" long flat blade screwdriver works better on carbs 3 & 4
