Thanks yep, I have adjusted it down and up. The adjustment works fine. Its just a problem after it warms up.

It is a PITA getting the carbs out but the more you do it the faster you get soon it is no more hassle than, say, moving house LoL
Ok. I will pull them again. I dont believe I checked the inlet finger screen(didnt know there was one until I read about them on here). The carbs looked pretty clean last time.
