    '83 650 Kat

    I looked at my carbs but can not see the air mixture screw, do they exist on my bike, thanks.

    might have a plug in them, it's there though, it should be above the inlet, facing towards the tank.

        So in order to rich'en up a slight lean condition, I will have to re-jet one size higher then?

          Any other advise as my carbs do not have air mixture screws for slight carb adjustments, thanks.

            You have to drill and tap in a screw to pull out the plug covering the idle mixture screw.

              True that. Also, most GS bikes perk up when you shim the needles a smige.

                I think I'll try shimming them, thanks.
