Doing that is all part of "carb cleaning". Syncing the carbs when you are finished (syncing them on the bench also - which should be close unless there is a problem somewhere) is the last part.

That's why I said "carb cleaning" means different things to different people.
By the time you posted your answer I was already reinstalling

I didn't want to mess with those 2 screws because I found shims (assuming jet kit) and also didn't recall how to set the idles (the 2.5 turns out thank you for that info).
