Valves are good as I just checked them while the bike was apart.
So, the fuel screws on the bottom of the carb.... Screw in to lean it out?
Keep the shiny side up!!!!

If the screws are on the bottom at the front they are "fuel screws" as opposed to "air screws" The further out they are the more fuel is allowed around that circuit. While these screws effect mixture at idle, I don't think they have much effect once you are up and running with some rpm on and throttle applied, so while they could make your plugs black at idle, I don't know that they would overall. Having said that they need to be set anyway.
