    I pulled the carbs apart and boiled in lemon juice.... I organized everything as i disassembled and my question is, Do i screw these little screws in all the way or is there a near correct certain amount of turns out that needs to be achieved... im trying to attach some pics, but the screw im referring to is to the left of where the choke plungers would go

    start with 2.5 turns out then you'll have minor adjusting to do later

    I take it the throttle shaft seals were replaced after boiling the carbs in lemon juice?
