The small vacumn lines used to sync carbs. I had two plugged and two with hoses. I synced the carbs and can't remember which was which. Does it matter? Thanks Richard

Took my !st Gen RV to the JAX M&E yesterday and Chicken Hawk was kind enough to bring his Carbtune tool to sync my carbs. When connected to the carbs and with the bike warmed up and idling about 1000 rpms the tool barely showed any vacumn reading until revd up. The bike idles ok and accelerates fine with the only problem being a somewhat slow throttle response but it is just not exactly smooth. I had taken the carbs apart in the past and cleaned out the jets and passages, the diaphrams are free of pinholes but probably original. Tried the Seafoam treatment and some suggested checking the tank for any rust although I recently change the gas filter and didn't see a lot of garbage in the old one. I just don't understand what could cause the low vacumn reading which is preventing me from syncing the carbs which I feel is all it needs to run better. I have no problem driving it like it is but would like to put the plastics back on. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Oh, and BTW, the bike only has 16,000 miles on it.
