1975 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 22ooo miles

I put a set of these on a VW trike it was running fair till I used a carburetor synchronizer on them now can't get right. How can I do a basic setting on these to get them to run.
Thank you

First use the synch tool at idle with throttle rods unhooked to get both base idles the same. Then you need to adjust and hook up the throttles so that they pull at the same time. This can be done by using something to hold the throttle down part way and using something to measure how far open the throttles are from the idle stops. If they dont pull the same you will get stumbling and poor low speed response
