They should be done up on the thread then just nipped up do not go gorilla on them they are brass and soft and damage will occur finger tight and a little nip will suffice

Yeah they are nice and soft! done up gently as hanzo says. Mixture screw should be around 2.5 turns out. Have you a picture of your project bike? Did you manage to find some side panels?
thankyou for replys i have only just found out how to find my posts... i have sort of side stepped from side pannels at mo and i have ordered a few parts which i think will help me get bike running i had the bike running but exhaust went very red straight away and was very loud so im just learning as i go on thanks too this site the bike will only be used for fields
as it would need a lot doing to get it to road i will get some pictures up on this post later on i believe its a year 1995-1996 and looks as tho its had many hands on it over years
i picked it up for £200 and im looking forward to getting it up n running and then getting it looking better to im enjoying tinkering with it :)
also the little jet screw in pic above was fully blocked so i have used carb cleaner on this ang got it cleaned up i have order a gasket for exhaust
also the rubber that attaches carb too engine was in a bad state (inlet stub and o ring) the exhaust is an fmf race pipe which came with bike
