That's easy to do, especially with multiple carbs.

I suggest finding out if your linkage is right first, then just set the carbs to factory settings & start there. That linkage has to be right or you're spinning your wheels, and from your description, i'd guess something is wrong.

Disconnecting the remote lets you feel a bind in the linkage better.

Note: there are guys here with way more experience than me. These days when my carbs need work I take them to a guy, my fat fingers aren't getting anymore nimble.

good luck
