I want to check a few adjustments to my 78E which I've fully restored to stock, so a complete engine rebuild was done including the carbs which have all stock jets, float settings etc. I did remove the idle mixture screws during cleaning and put them back to what the manual stated: 1 1/4 turns out from lightly seated. Now this is preliminary tuning while it's still in the shop (my basement) as I have not had it out on the road yet... no gas tank yet, still getting prepped for paint.
Would the proper sequence of tuning be to:
1. Check and adjust timing if needed
2. Sync the carbs with carb stix, (I bench synced them using the bread tie wire method)
3. Adjust idle air mixture... HOW? Colortune?
4. Re-check timing
5. Road test
Thanks for the guidance!
