    I just did something similar on mine and it’s running perfect. 

    First thing I did was to set the idle mix screws as per the video. That is turn them all the way in And back them out 1.5 turns. Do you this on both carburettors.

     Then I followed the procedure for the idle stop screw. That is to swap the spring over so that the throttle is pulled to full, back to stop screw out, put in a feeler gauge and turn back in as per the video.

    make sure both sides hit the idle stop and full throttle stop at the same time.  If one hits first, make some adjustments until they both hit each and at the same time. Make sure your springs are back in the original location, and you are done. 

    Once I did this my carb sync was almost perfect. 

    I should also mention that my idle is set perfectly now at 2100

    Actually Tyler you were absolutely right but I synced the carbs first to make sure I knew what I was doing, then I did the Carb inspections.

    I am remiss in replying to this so long after my initial post.   I appreciate everyone's responses.  As suggested I mastered the mechanic sync then balanced the carbs using the Gauges.  I had purchased the Carb Mate but the gauges made it much easier to see the actual magnitude of the out of balance condition.  Once I realized that the actual reading of the gauges did not matter it made it much easier to just match up the needles.  After I did the carb inspections I synced the carbs with both the Carb Mate and the Gauges and either is pretty routine.

    So we are happily flying the acft now and we have a pretty cool Idle at 2000 RPM.

    So that's a wrap.  Thanks again!
