Recently adjusted the mixture screws on my Carter AFB
using a tach.  Back out the screws until the RPM no longer
increases.  Have heard a better way is by using a vacuum gauge.
Turn in the screws (more lean) until the vacuum just drops a little.
Then back out 1/4 turn. Does this sound right?

years.

The output from the exhaust pipes is unbalanced.
That is a vacuum issue and not a RPM issue.
To what port should attach the vacuum gauge?
