78 invader Carb Questions.

Hello!  I have a few questions about adjusting my carbs. First air screw 1.5 turns off seat and idle screw 3 turns open sound right? Also while looking at my carburetors The throttle Pistons are not the same height? I would assume this is a problem correct? Thanks for any help.

They should be at the same height, and should start opening at the same time.  Check the throttle cable adjustment to make sure they aren't being held open, then adjust them so the both start to open at the exact same time.

Ok sounds good. Did the air and idle screw  adjustments sound right?  Thank you!

I'd have to look it up to be sure, but it sounds about right for a starting point.  I highly recommend buying or making a carb sync tool for the fine adjustment.
