In article , Dave Hinz says...

Ask specifically about carb synchronization if this is the 1000cc
boxer engine with bing carbs that I'm thinking. If the owner gives
you a vacant stare, then be aware that it's probably not performing
up to potential. Unless it changed dramatically between '77 and '82
(I have no idea, sorry),

Not really. The bing cv's are actually pretty easy to synch,
and they hold their settings for a long time. The only major
known carb bug is a) the CV diaphragms hole after many years (easy
fix) and b) if there's no filter upstream of each carb, the
float needle will hang open and give one gasoline-soaked footwear.
