Yes..the carbs are not balanced!   Everything should be equal....15"  is fine 
for a fast idle......

I just got into this.....you are aware that there should be no vacume at 
idle...to the VA??    So obviously your right side carb is too far open...

How did you balance with the Unisyn??      You never adjust the knob between 
checking both carbs.....that's how you tell the difference....


So,  after it's warmed up...disconnect VA line [ do not plug ].take 
aircleaners off...chokes verticle [ open]...disconnect  linkage at both carbs.....don't 
worry it will idle fine....

Make sure the fast idle cams are all the way down  and loose to the 
touch........now  backout the right carbs idle SPEED screw [ not mixture]  until the 
readings are the same when you pinch one off.........AND  no Vacume is present 
on the hose to the VA...

Re-connect RIGHT side linkage.....shouldn't cause engine to rev up.....  then 
adjust the drivers side swivel to "slip" into  hole on crossshaft arm...

NOW..check the timing....adjust if you want.....it WILL change idle speed!

SO....to adjust idle speed.......shut engine OFF........adjust BOTH  carbs  
idle speed screws the SAME amount......then restart and chech.....NEVER ADJUST 
JUST ONE!!

Hope this helps.....
