Go to BassCliff's "little" website.
About 2/3 down the left column, you will see Carb Notes.
Open that, then look about 1/4 down the page, you will see a section called Morgan Colortune/Carbtune Tips.
In there, you will see how to Synchronize Carbuetors.
Feel free to follow all the steps given or just play lazy and click on the links I gave you.
If you want to be as lazy as possible, just click on the last one.
