pilot air screw ?

[Mike]

thanks guys. i think i'm clear now and as soon as i get chance i think i have the right info.

"Turning them clockwise will lean your mixture, turning them anti-clockwise will richen it."

thats the bit of info i was missing.i then read 4 or 5 tutorials and confused myself stupid
i was looking for the standard settings in manuals with cv carbs as to how many turns out, and all i could find apart from "preset" was 3 1/2 turns out, which left me with 1 and 2 plugs clean and 3 and 4 sooty,turning the screw anticlockwise to let more air in was not helping,but neither was anything else i tried, so i kept going back to 3 1/2 turns out (going round in circles)

going to start at 2.5 turns out and go clockwise as soon as i get chance.and just to clarify everything else has been done to the carbs over the last 2 months.leaving the original jets in and replacing o-rings gaskets and such other than tick-over they are running superb. and bike pulls like a demon.

thanks again for your help guys.and sorry i caused more confusion.

regards
Dave

i am a little late but here it what i noticed on mine ( i still had the plug in my mixture screws ) that the center two were half a turn out more the the outer two. i think with the stock setup where the inner two carbs pull less vacuum then the outer two you might want to keep that in mind with a stock setup. as for mine 82 1100ez with pods and 4 to 1 exhaust starting with them the same was a big help.
