David,
What you want to do is get both cylinders working equally as hard. So they
need to be balanced and at their peak efficiency (i.e. proper mixture).
Get (borrow) a set of carb sticks. That is the best way. If your manifolds
don't have ports to attach the sticks then drill them. Its easy. The big
screws on the side of the carb are for that.
Balance both carbs. After that go to each side of the bike and turn the
little mixture screw a 1/4 turn at a time in either direction. As the
mixture becomes ideal you will hear the engine increase in rpm a bit.
Once you get a little confidence in "feeling" the engine you will
understand.

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?
