Does it synchronize them?

If you have the carbs off the bike look at the butterflys. If you turn it and the daylite shows through one more than the other you have just un-synchronized them. Maybee its the main Idle and the lite will shine more on both sides. Turn it till the lite shuts down or looks just like the other side and presto synchronized carbs. Well almost. U still need the guages.

I'm guessing that the 450t (?) is similar to my 425L, which has a 1" dia. plastic thumbwheel in between the 2 carbs. I have learned through trial and error that this is the main idle speed adjustment. Idle mixture is controlled by small brass screws facing outward on each side of the bike.

I have the same carb. That's your idle speed adjuster.

thanks for the help guys.it does seemto be the main idle speed adjuster.we got the bike running but it is still not right . The carbs got a little gummed up from sitting all winter so we're going to have to remove them and have them cleaned.thanks again, Chris
