i was wondering about carb sync tools i see a few different ones on feebay and was wondering if i could use a 2 carb sync tool since my 78 has the key hole type carbs on it that are all tuned off the number 2 carb instead of buying the 4 carb tool is it better to go with a manometer type tool for syncing

i have figured out that my bike wouldn't idle do to the timing being off and the ignition coil or points feeding 2 and 3 cyl was not firing right so i order new parts to fix them but was wondering about advancing or retarding the timing for any kind of extra hp or torque or anything any secrets or advice
