You want to do a full service, check valves, timing before doing carbs
Regards the butterfly values - I guess you want both butterflies open the same amount - is this to do with the throttle stop?
Leaky pistons, would that show up on those readings? Isnt the only way to know by doing a compression test?

Fran?? Andy?
