I am looking for some carb help on my 83 GS550L. I have the model equiped with the BSW30SS Carbs.The help i am looking for is i have two screws that seem to be air adjustment screws of some type on the front of the carbs on the outsides of the choke valve.Is that what they are ? If so or not what are they and what should they be adjusted to such as how many turns out from being turned all the way in ? All the help would be appreciated...Thanks.

Also i have attached a Schematic of the carbs on my cycle..If you look you can see the two holes on the front on the outsides of the choke plunger i am talkin(typin) about...

Those are fuel mixture screws. They run best at 2 1/2 to 3 turns out fom all the way in

This is wild...I have another guy tell me 1 1/2 turns out...Which one do you think is better ?

my 85 is only running if i leave the choke 3/4 close if i open the choke completely it will die unless i keep reving, adjusting the idle screw didnt do anything, it will idle a few seconds and slowly die, i think i might have to have this carbs rebuild by a real mechanic, my mechanic skylls just give me a slap on the face lol.

So i have read in a few places, the pilot screw start by 2 turns from bottom and find your sweet spot, i have tryed everything from 1 and work my way up and nothing seem to help. i will have to send my carbs to get rebuild,
