Another thing is to be very careful when turning in the pilot fuel screws to seat them because it's really easy to get the tip of the screw stuck in the matching hole in the carb body. And when that happens the tip often breaks off and gets stuck.

At any rate, for Suzuki's the fuel screw typically is open about 3/4-1 turn from lightly seated and the air screw roughly double that of the fuel screw. The fuel screw is very sensitive and has a dramatic effect on the low speed mixture.

ok and I'm having a hard time bench synching the air screws on top. I'm using paper clips when I power one slide the one next to it wants to open up

All the info's in the Clymer too. how to sync anyway 1st thing you need to do maybe just not quite as specific (if you can't figure it out with it a factory one probably isn't going to help that much) ..... fine tuning the air screws is pretty tricky at least I've never been able to perfect it...... setting them at 1 and a 1/4 should be close enough for now and thankfully go by RonKZ650s explanation too.
