I use a vaccummate (marine rechargable) http://www.vacuummate.com/ , I tune allot of 4 and six carb engine's and have found this tool very, very valuable. On my banshee's, ones a trail rider with a stock air box (K&N), other is a 4 mil with pod filters, all I do is pull the boost bottle and plug leads into the holoes. This allows you to tune the carbs quickly, accurately, and you leave the filters on the carbs. I can sync a set of banshee carbs in less than 5 mins with this tool, you would be hard pressed to tune a pair of carb's by ear and sight, no matter how much experience you have, you can get close, but I can set them perfectly.
