Take a look down the carbs as you work the throttle open and you'll see what I mean.

I set my bell cranks at around 10 o'clock at idle to cure the problem. They swing from around 10 to 2 o'clock (if they point upwards like yours).
Thats a good point Mike,should be at a 10 to 2 swing. 10 at throttles closed. ken ct.
