<VV> backfire on one side

[Lawerance Nall]

You should have done the compression test immediately after originally
adjusting the valves!  Before starting....would've eliminated them from any
further trouble shooting if you had problems..   live and learn!

Yes, the balance test will show if you have a weak / dead cylinder.....
note RPM  drop on each

Also, for a quick test for LEANESS....  with finger...hold choke on
offending carb 2/3-3/4  closed and blip the throttle....this richens the
mixture!

 I still have a slight backfire on the
left bank out the carb when the throttle is blipped.  I decided that I
would switch the carbs and see what the result would be.  Well I still
have the backfire on the left bank.  So at least I know that the carb is
not the cause of the backfire.  Seems like the left bank runs ruff,
maybe a miss fire on that side, should I short each plug to see if there
is any result?  I know that each wire fires at least to the plug
(checked with timing light).

 Next up is to do a compression test.  Any
other thoughts?  Vacuum leak?, where to look on one side?
