Fintail!!

Hello guys, I have just aquired a 1963 Mercedes Fintail 220sb (white w/ green interior!!)car was in storage since early 1980s and owned by an old lady who passed away. Car is literally a time capsule! Looks it just came off the showroom floor. Not one scratch or tear anywhere! Before i got it , the brakes and carbs were rebulit. The seller told me all fluids were changed and that he drove 11 miles home with 30+ tires! The only problem is the dual solex carbs need synchronizing, so he said the car has a miss and when he took out the plugs they were wet with gas which means the carbs is giving too much gas right? I towed it home and havent turned it on anymore because i was scared. I didnt drive it yet because i didnt want to flood the engine and i really want to take it for a spin. Its technically my first car. Also he said it might need a valve adjustment. I dont know how to tune carbs right. Anybody know any mechanics in the sacramento area california of course. Thanks alot for any info.
