Hi redmandan,
I purchased a set of gauges very similar to yours on the recommendation of some in here mine are blue in colour where yours are black but the gauges look exactly the same. About 45 quid if I remember right. It has four brass extension connecting rods, two are longer than the others, they came with four black rubber/plastic tubes and four cheap and nasty valves to go in line. First recommendation is get yourself down to your local tropical fish shop and get yourself four better quality adjustable valves. Around a quid/ quid fifty each.
Now I have never tried my gauges out as thus far my old girl runs smoothly. What I would say is check that the throttle cable is not too tight and holding the throttle open, if it is no amount of adjusting on the throttle stop screw will make any difference.
I'm sure other foccers will come back to you who have used the gauges just like the ones we have, and they will have more of an idea how to adjust your carbs up.
It's just that they are a bunch of old codgers that have to get to bed early because of the brain damage they have suffered because they are to foccing mean to buy the right sized helmet. Tight bastids. :eek
