CV out is richening.
CV out is richening.
...also, for VM carbs out is richer for the pilot fuel screw but out is lean for the pilot air screw.

I know on my 82 GS650g (CV carbs), Clock-wise is lean, and counter is rich.
I start at 2 or 2 1/2 turns out from bottom.
Damn things are touchy too, i cranked them a tad too rich last week and nearly fouled out my plugs.

Pilot screw ??
81 gs 1000g
Note sure what carbs
after repacking and putting new ends on my mufflers I fing the plugs are sooting up so I thought I would lean the mixture up by adjusting the screws on top of the carbs that I think are the air pitot screws.
Am I on the right track or have I lost it.

Nope that would be the one. If you're sooting up the plugs the carbs were jetted already for the leaner pipes of you cut off too much air flow.
I'd get in the carbs and see what's in there.

so now I guess to air flow is restricted and my plugs are sooting up.
I thought I could adjust the air srew on top of the carns to lean the mixture out a bit.
My old megahones had nothing inside and the end caps had rusted away so I got some aluminium tube drilled some holes in it and wrapped some fiberglass wrap around it and stuck it in the empty megaphone , I the got some aluminium and cut it in to fit the the ends and drilled some holes in it, still pretty loud though,

that'll sort out the bottom end but what about the mid and top end?... likes been mentioned, open up the carbs and see what jetting / settings are inside. chances are needle and main had been changed for the less restrictive pipe and this will need changing back towards where it was originally
