...I went out yesterday to tinker with the carbs and couldn't see the mixture screws. Am I going to have to take the carbs out to get to them? It always makes me nervous taking something apart when it works fine when I start. If its broken to begin with then I figure what have I got to loose, know what I mean? Anyway, talk to ya later.
You do not have to take the carbs off to adjust the idle mixture screws. You may have to the first time though, as the security caps are a beach. In the picture the idle mixture adjustment screws are up in the tube located center of the pic underneath the rubber dust cap I have installed. Lots of threads discussed the removal of the security caps, so have a peek at the archives. Here are two for ya:

Security Caps
The screwdriver in the middle of the pic has had its handle cut off. This is used to turn the air mixture screws while the carbs are on the bike. The picture represents all the tools needed to rejet with the carbs on the bike.
