73 2.0 Delortos

Last major tune was about 9,000 miles ago and running like a champ until today and it felt like a slight misfire. Just to see if one cylinder was reading different I used the snail on the stacks and found these readings.

#1 reading 7 and vibrating the needle up and down 1 number
#4 #5 solid
#2 #5 solid
#3 reading 7 and vibrating the needle up and down 1 number

Due to equal vibrating readings on 1 & 3 could there be one thing causing this reading or am I hoping too much?

I agree 100% with Zach.

What I would suggest is get it warm. Get it to idle.
Remove the linkage that connects both carbs to each other, and to the gas pedal.
Check them, while at idle, no revving.
Adjust using the individual carb adjustment.

Then put (adjust) all the linkage back on to ensure it does not move the carbs at all.

For this reason, I am a huge fan of Chris Foleys cable linkage...
