Imagine that you're screwing in a screw (clockwise). This increases the speed. When the engine is hot, with the choke off, if you don't notice any increase of speed when you screw it in, then something is really amiss. You'll not do any harm if you screw it in a couple of turns. If the engine doesn't speed up, back it off to its original position (no need to be absolutely spot on) & then you'll probably find that the problem is that the carb needs cleaning. Have you run any carb cleaner through lately? The carb seems to be the weak feature on an otherwise good bike. :2tup:
