One thing i am wondering. If you can sync the engine using the airscrews and
the butterflys then I asume they interact. So i think it's very difficult to
sync the butterflys. If the air screw is wrong you compensate that on the
butterfly ?
My bike won't sync on the airscrews so i think i have to do the butterflys.
Cilinder 3 always has a bigger vacuum.
