I got my verbs dialed in pretty darn good yesterday. I only had time for a short test drive, not long enough to pull plugs for inspection. One thing I did notice is a whistling noise coming from carbs when engine was under a load. No backfiring or popping so I'm not sure what this indicates.

Yes, this is first carbed car I have driven in years and def first air cooled vehicle. I find it has a nice lope to it when idling at around 900rpm. When it comes up under load it whistles around 2500 then has a nice sound around 3k. I just want to make sure I'm not running too lean but I guess I won't know till I check plugs. I have all carbs just above falling off with mix screw and each pulling about 3.5-4 on STE reading. Like I said, it has a nice lope but still a smooth idle not shaky
