Do you need to be a rocket scientist to do it?

Well, since I'm no longer employed as a rocket scientist...
The center carb is the 'master' carb on the trple engines and the butterfly position is determined directly by the idle knob. For the other two carbs there are linkage adjustment screws on either side of the center carb.
The gauges connect via a rubber hose and pulsation damper to the take-off stubs at the rear of the carbs.
It's a pretty simple sequence. Connect the gauges, warm up the engine, set the idle, adjust the screws for equal vacuum and repeat the process until there's no longer need for adjustment.
It's helpful to check the balance between the vacuum gauges using 'T' connectors to hook all the gauges to a single carb. A four gauge set is good since if one gauge is off you can use the other three.
An auxilliary fuel tank with a valve and some extra fuel hose are convenient, but you can use the bike's fuel tank on a bench with some extra fuel line to supply fuel.
