Yup, that's the standard way of doing it. You MUST start with both jets in the same basic height setting, you can find that by counting the flats on the jet height adjustment nut. Visually check the height of the jet by looking underneath the piston. Check the two needles are in the piston properly, both the same, shoulder lined up with the bottom of the piston.

Then undo the clamp connecting the linkages on the two carbs, the carbs now operate independently. Set the idle screws so both carbs draw the same amount of air. You can use a carb balancing tool or a bit of hose and your ear, you'll hear the suction. Lock the carbs together, MAKE SURE you end up with them opening at the same time, you can get big throttle variations by badly adjusting the forks, the pin should be central in the fork.

Then screw the jets down until you get the maximum idle speed, and lean them off a couple of flats once you've found it. Then use the lift pins. what you are looking to achieve is that when you lift the piston the revs just lift, and the idle then drops a feew hundred rpm. If the idle goes up, its too rich, engine dies too lean. As I said earlier, lift rear piston, adjust front carb.If one carb needs drastically different jet height from its neighbour there is something wrong.

If at the end you re-set the idle just uncouple the carbs, having them operating perfectly in sync really helps throttle response.
