Excellent. The symptom you described is usually caused by an intake leak, carbs out of sync, or misrouted cable. Since you said you removed the carb, the first thing to check for would be the leak.
As for the sync, you just need to adjust the four carbs so they all show the same vacuum. Don't be too concerned with what the actual number is, just get them all at the same level.
BTW, how did you come to the conclusion that is was the carbs needing synchronization?

You are talking about the locknut to adjust the vacuum and not the fuel mixture screw, correct?

I think you are talking about the fuel mixture screws, those have nothing to do with carburator synchronization.

They should be equal distance from the small by-pass passages at the bottoms of the carburetor bores.
