    Ok so I have an Idea its running rich , Am I forced to remove the tank to play with the screws? What is the reasons why they keep blackening. It seems to run fine . but every fewe KM it does not want to start (because of the dirty plugs) My number 3 plug is like a caramely brown , the rest are BLACK.

    Ya, either the carbs need cleaning, or the screws are out of the proper position, or at least thats what I would assume...

    sounds like the mixture screws need to be adjusted like you said. They should look like your #3 plug I believe.
