    Turn signals stopped working ... any help appreciated

    The smaller ones likely pull less wattage. You may have to replace the factory flasher relay with a more modern electronic one.

    Oil blowing out of oil breather?

    Take the oil filler cap off and sniff. If it smells like gasoline, then the floats are sticking and it is time for a thorough cleaning.

    No, the one between 2 & 3 is the idle screw. If this turning this screw out will not raise the idle, then you have other carbs tuning issues.
