+1. Adjusting the carbs is way easier than you think. You do have to have a "D" tool or change them for thumbscrews (I did). You can easily tell if you're getting better or worse. You can bet they will end up somewhere between 1.5 and 3 turns out. If it needs to be near 3, you probably should up the pilots one size and start over at 1.5-2. The worst you can do is end up running too rich or too lean.
Since putting on the thumbscrews and running some SeaFoam through the tank, I've been tweaking mine. I can tell by the decel popping on my setup if I'm too lean or too rich, but I pull the plugs every 500 miles to see if they are ok. If one cylinder's plug appears a little rich, I tweak that screw in a hair.
