    1981 gs450t Carburetor tuning

    Hello. I need to know where to set my air screws for my 1981 gs450t. How many rotations out from being screwed In Fully. And is there anyway to early fix an oil leaky cam chain tensioner, it looks like it's leaking out of the adjustment bold/screw. Can I just tighten something? Or would I have to replace all my seals In There.

    The screws on mine where happy two turns out from fully seated, that's where they were after drilling and removing the caps.

    As to the tensioner leak that'll require taking the tensioner apart and replacing the seals. I've never done that myself but I'm sure someone will chime in on that one.
