I don't know those carbs at all so I can't tell you exactly how to fix the rich idle and part throttle mixtures other than lean the idle screws down as much as possible and go from their.
As far as measuring the vacuum on each carb I have one of the old carb synch devises that sit over the top of the carbs and have a visual indicator to use on the idle vacuum, I haven't used them in years shruggy
I tune them, multiple carbs, by ear and smell scope up

The first thing to do is get the carbs apart and pin every single hole in it. On both carbs. Then you can start thinking about what the carb needs for a tune up. If it’s rich at idle you may have to reduce the size of the idle feed restriction. And it should be moved from the upper position to the lower position if it’s not in the low position already.

You can’t make any competent tuning decisions until you know what you have. Once you do that you can tune from there.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
