I wonder if commuting in crappy traffic has something to do with needing to do them more often.
I have never balanced carbatooters either, :lolĀ but I do check the balance of the carburettors when doing the major services.

It is general wear and tear is why the need to be checked. At 19000 miles they wound have very little wear. Would not need to be checked u til 25000 miles when the valves need checking.
