    They haven't been bored at all. So, that's odd.

    It could be that the manometer was connected to the wrong port...only the center vacuum port is restricted (at least as I recall it is the center port), the other two will provide full manifold vacuum.

    Yes, mine have been bored to 2". Can you reference method for balancing in this case. Thanks.

    Yeah you will want to do the single manometer "differential" method as described in the original post.
