So I did it, 2.5 turns out on each. I also checked the fuel level with the tubing like the manual says, and it seems fine. Do I need to balance the carbs again now? It still revs high, do I need to turn the mixture screws a bit more? I don't think the idle is too high because it seems to want to die ...

Is there a valid reason why my Haynes manual say "do not attempt adjustment" referring to the mixture/pilot adjustment screw?

Thanks for the help so far....
At risk of seeming like a moron, how does one resolve this too lean issue? From what I've read, too lean can really destroy things. These carbs are driving me crazy. just when I think I'm close, I find out that I'm further away. I want to take my bike for a ride but I ...

Thanks.

Thanks,

I must have overlooked Wrider's reply. If that's the case, would a whole bunch flow out at once?

(Just to recount the original issue) It was a few weeks ago when I started my bike and shut it down, I heard liquid pouring and noticed oil flowing out all over the ground. It was dark and I could not pinpoint the source. Alright, it took 2 weeks plus but the Haynes manual finally came in the mail ...

will do sensei.

I don't have a manual, the guy I bought it from couldn't find it. I did download and print a genuine parts catalog. When I first saw the bike we were painstakingly trying to start it and we thought it had too much oil. We drained it and put a little fresh back in. When I got it home, I put more in ...
