Gilles,
Thank you again. Yes the levers on the carbs move in unison no matter how fast
the throttle lever is advanced. The whole operation is very smooth and fluent.
I'm no expert on any of this stuff I can assure you but I would expect the
engine
not to run smoothly if a throttle cable was to lag the throttle movement.
The engine runs like a sewing machine and my only observation is that the MAP
seems
slower to rise than expected be it true or imaginary! Hence my dilemma.
Best regards
Kingsley

providing some push-pull action. The carb springs are just there for peace
of mind.
