You are aware that adjusting air mixture is something completely different?

when ballancing the carbs or throttle bodies you are generally adjusting the throttle linkage between them, ensuring that the amount the throttle is open for each carb/TB is the same. this is a manual adjustment to the effective length of a mechanical linkage. Not that getting fueling right isn'timportant, but it's a different job.

I've not actually seen an air mix screw on a set of SV TB's but I've never felt the need to look for them. I would have thought that they'd only exist on carbs?
