Yep, thats the idles adjustment screw. It is located just below the fuel T. This is the T junction where the gas enters the carbs between #s 2 nd 3. I would advise that you maybe take the gas tank off and have a look in that area. I dont think it will be a difficult fix :)

Check your petcock, with these older bikes the inards of the petcock dry out and will cause the carbs to leak fuel.

okay cool. Is it necessary to have a prime option on the bike or can I do away with it all and just get a replacement that has an on, off, and reserve instead?

Sounds easier to me and a definite cut-off from the gas line. No worry about leaks or bad vacuum seals....

You can install a manual fuel valve no problem.

Have you changed the oil yet?

Yep, after riding for about 25 min to a friends house we started to drain the oil and thats when I realized my 1st carb was leaking through the vent into the air box. I lost 2 gallons because of that. Had enough gas to get home and ran it pretty dry.

yay, no leaks.... til I add some more fuel....

This sucks.
