'Balancing' is usually the term for making sure two or more carbs are synchronised - ie work equally.

If the fuelling is wrong they need tuning (maybe balancing too).

As regards how easy a job this is depends on whether the engine and carbs are standard. And indeed what make the carbs are.

Explain 'overfuelling' ?. Are they flooding with fuel overflowing the bowls?, or is the engine just running rich?

If it's the former, check the float/needle assembly. If the latter, it could be a number of things.
