You can still pull, it just don't move.
Agreed. But then only a "push" can screw up what was a sound idle.
That's why I have suggested, when syncing carbs "off idle", to shorten the high-volume side's rod rather then lengthen the low-volume side's. Then idle sync cannot be disturbed, only extra upstream linkage take-up introduced.

No John, I have a synchrometer that fits the Zeniths inlet. Picture will be added later. That disc was for my original synchrometer that needed an adapter.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Sychrometer with adapter. Not the good SK version that I dropped and broke but an Amazon replacement that appears to work just as well.
That one shown says "SK" on it, is it ersatz, a fugazi as it were?

Yes it is, I took a chance on the cheaper one and it appears to work OK.
Ok, here's how clueless I am. I've got one just like yours, with the adapter and all. I bought it cheap, hoping it would match the readings of my original one (which says "Made In Germany" and has a tiny oval logo "STE"). I bought it decades ago from Stoddard I think. Anyway, while the cheap one works, its readings don't track the old one's, and I doubt there's a way to adjust them. I was hoping to use two at a time to avoid having to shift one between carbs many times. Long shot, oh well.
