Geez, Gordon, you're surprised the carbs are out of synch after taking apart the linkage?
Just putting that rag on the floor under the oil pump could have thrown them off.
But I don't see this as a bad thing. Coaxing carbs into synch is one of the most satisfying things in all of human experience. A dog circles in its bed half a dozen times before canine feng shui leads it to the perfect place to settle. Birds fiddle endlessly with the leaves in a nest until all is arranged harmoniously.
But God gave us carburetors. There's a reason that thumbscrews are thumb screws. Carburetors need us. They literally reach out to us for guidance. There is no better thing than bringing an unruly mob of velocity stacks into perfect, four-part harmony.
Fixing oil leaks is menial labor.
But this is nice work if you can get it.
And you can get it if you try.
