Default Tuning Solex Carburetors

I need some advice.

Could somebody post a short, simple, chlld's guide to tuning triple Solex downdraft carburettors. I suspect Geoff Dowdle may not be able to resist.

And nobody is to fall about laughing. I have done it before. When I bought my first 403, back in 1965, I had one of those marvelous carburetor balancing devices and used to happily play with mixture and throttle settings, but the device was sold with the car and I have never found another.

Reason for all this is the alteration of the linkage from accelerator pedal up to the carbs to eliminate most vibration when I hit a bump. Inevitably carburetor balance has suffered and I would like to confidently go back to square 1.

Regards,

Lewis
