Stripped and ultrasonic cleaned the carbs last weekend and used Greg’s method of syncing the carbs, never done it this way before but I have to say this is by far the best method I’ve come across. I usually use vacuum gauges for the final tweaks but these were spot on from the initial adjustment. What’s more is that my Commando is a one or two kick starter apart front the first start after winter which normally involves several kicks to get it fired up but this time it went first kick. Thank you Greg.

I'm 76 and my father who worked at the Norton before WW2 taught me a very similar method and it's never let me down including a CB750.
 
I have always used my fingers on the slides for syncing and adjusting the slides and cables, no need for any other tool or gauges, fingers and a small screw driver for air/idle adjustments, fingers and feel are the most accurate way of doing it, been doing it this way on my Norton for 45+ years and also have never used a timing light on my Norton or Triumphs.
