Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

STOP playing with it! Its not really an "adjustable" thing. You set it, .75 turns or so out, and then work around IT. Playing with it and then playing with everything else will only complicate the situation. You're working in circles..Iv'e seen the right angle screwdrivers, and wonder if it would be worth it to have. I keep getting HOT knuckles trying to adjust mine!

That's exactly it, now that everything else is in line, I know it running rich. Just trying to tweak them while the engine is warmed up is somewhat dangerous! It's SO close to being spot-on. Working unwittingly with a weak coil didn't help. I could have probably kept the points, but it's so nice to choke it and have it fire right up and go.

right between 1/8 and 1/4. plus the whole high idle thing. I'm thinking that if the fuel screws are too far out, then the air screws would be too far out as well? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I hope I'm on the right track. I KNOW 2G is way high for idle.

I use a screw driver bit from an electric drill - difficult not to get scalded on the inner carbs though.
On my 1979 GS750 with 4 in 1 header, unifilter in airbox and 15 pilots, 1.25 on fuel and 2 on air screws got the best performance and burn on colortune. They're obviously related however. When I first got the bike she bogged down bad at small throttle openings; fuel was at 0.75 and air at 1 - she idled good though. Tried many combinations til got her to what I consider to be as close as possible. Hard for me to plug chops though as burning a bit of oil through valve seals.
