Look closely at the linkage and be sure to understand what does what. You should be able to adjust the carbs individually with their own screw, be able to link them together with the balancing screw, and set idle with a common screw as I recall (?), but it's been many years since I was stock. You should be able to turn the idle down to 900rpm or so even if the shafts are worn... that will effect air/fuel ratio... something might be sticking or hanging up or?
I'll grant my knowledge of carbs is weak, but trust I've spent the time trying to adjust this one (with help from a fairly knowledgeable friend). I have figured out all the linkages and various adjustment screws. It needs a rebuild. I'm just going to buy a known-good rebuild.

Love the license plate! Reminds me of my dad who used to love to tell that old joke.
