Carb adjustment

I'm having some problems with my carbs running to rich, having replaced the heater and cleaned them the rear carb is seriously out of balance. I have checked the pilot screws and someone has shagged the head of the front carbs pilot screw. I have adjusted the rear one to the setting given to me from Suzuki. If i screw the sync screw in the rear just draws more vacuum and goes of the scale. Does anyone know which way to turn the pilot screw to weaken the mixture in the rear carb?

Thanks

I'd be looking at the choke plungers first before you start messing with the pilot mix.

indeed, fairly common problem "stuck choke" either one or both, as the cable bificated just before the front carb so can brake beyond this as well.

You shouldn't really need to be playing about with mixture to balance carbs though? give them a good clean, check the jets aren't blocked at all and the float bowls are clean, and also check the diaphram in the top, Oh and as you've already guessed, the screws are made of a metal like substance but a hell of a lot softer, when you re-assemble it's worth replacing them with some a bit more quality.
