Unfamiliar with the bike but if it's a (brass)screw on the underside of the carb & it's on the cylinder head side (rear) of the carb, then it adjusts fuel.
Set it the manufacturers spec & adjust accordingly to compensate for aftermarket exhausts or filters etc by screwing in/out 1/8 of a turn at a time. If it pops & bangs on the overrun & the exhaust & carb are airtight, then you're running weak which means you need to adjust the screw outwards to allow extra fuel in & vice versa. Steve

Thanks Steve
That's what i thought, and yes it does pop a little on the overrun, which is why i was about to adjust it to add more fuel. Just wanted to be clear in my mind which way it worked. cheers mate
