I recently used my carbtune to sync the carbs on my 82 GS1100E. I thought it might help with an off idle stumble/miss that was only present at the smallest throttle openings. Adjusted fuel screws while I was at it and noticed that the rpms did not respond to adjustment of carb three. Seeming to indicate that it was actually not firing.
