Hi all. The bike is running ok, ticking over steady at about 950 rpm but I think the mixture is a little rich. two of the plugs are dark brown to black slightly sooty.on tick over. I have the correct Honda screwdriver and carb balancer. The carbs are balanced ok but I can't turn the front two pilot screws. the back ones are ok but only the one on the right rear (sat on the bike) makes any difference. I can't follow the procedure from the manual because of these front two screws.
Any Ideas... As I said the bike is running fine and smooth with lots of power.
The question is do I leave well enough alone?
