Not a pro here, but I think if you don't disrupt anything taking the linkages off, you MAY be just fine..

​However....
​I am of the personal opinion, that if I'm going to take the carbs off, I'm going to clean them, do kits on them, and then reinstall them complete with a fresh link n sync..
​Just to eliminate any question about it..

My 2 cents.. lol :D

When you reinstall the carbs to the manifold, if they are not precisely positioned on the studs as before, the throttle shafts will be affected in relation as to one to another. Therefor you must check to see that they all begin to open at the same exact time. Other than that, if you didn't mess with the rest of the linkage, it should be ok if it was ok before. But what the heck, might why not at least check it?

They usually run just fine after installing the carburetors.-----No need to be afraid of this procedure at all !!----What are the compression values on it ?
