I can't seem to understand the carb setting method in the Eldorado
manual.
By this I mean, that if I disconnect one cylinder and go to the other
carb
to adjust, I am not sure what I am to be hearing or noticing. Is this
the
best way for someone without mercury sticks, etc.? I am afraid of
getting
my mixture too lean. I am starting with each mixture screw out 1 1/2
turns
and then starting the bike. Where from here?

David,
I've always had good luck following the steps in the manual when setting
up my V7 700. I think this method is the same as what you're beginning
to describe. Make sure the bike is warmed up first, also if these are
new carbs make sure you've got the correct jets to begin with then set
her up. On my bike, each side runs well with a slightly different idle
mix, so don't just set up one side and then count turns on the other.
Follow the steps in the manual and you should be in good shape.
