I initially read this as "are you a PHD, Masters, etc. in carb tuning?"

 

If that's the case, I would have an AA in carb tuning.

I don't know about other fools out there, but I have really good success using a vacuum gauge then my nose & ears.  

 

Suppose this makes me a high school drop out.

You should've seen the look on my neighbors face when I cut a couple feet of his water hose so I could make sure each intake sounded the same.

I started with my Renault's Solex 22ICBT (18mm venturi), worked my way up to a Solex, part 32 ICB body (Peugeot 403) jetted with the contents from a Dauphine's 32 ICBT, then to our 40mm single barrel Solexes on early 2002s, and finally to 32/36 Webers.  Still prefer Solexes (except the OEM 2 barrels on later 02s)...

 

Still haven't figured out SU carbs, despite taking 'em apart more than once.

I figured out how to make the carbs on a Bavaria to work  before the factory produced their kit.

 

Carter AFB, Holley, Rochester, Weber, Zenith, Solex ,etc.  They all work on the same principle.

And all have their problems.  I'm no master but I can get them to work.  G

I cured all of my carb tuning issues with my 74 auto’s carb… with a spell in my neighbours pool!
