Could flood your carbs out and if allowed to run dry on prime, may end up in allowing undesirables from the bottom of your tank into your carbs....

Really?
That's never how I've done (not that I've been doing it right),
By why not synch first?

The pilot screw setting shouldn't affect vacuum but how the carbs are synched will affect your ability to set the pilot screws right???

Okay, lets think about this. You get the carburetors all back on, installed and squared away. You sync them. Then you pull them back off, adjust the A/F screws and throw them back on. By syncing them and than taking them back off, you just destroyed everything you did by syncing them.

I see!
There's the difference. I set my A/F screws while the carbs are on the bike.
That being the case, no reason to resynch.

I get the reasoning now though, thanks arsenic.

Yeah, if you don't remove the carbs, you don't need to resync. If it's done with the carbs on the bike, it doesn't matter.
