ok cool that sounds simple enough cheers, just to check im guessing the screw ur refering to is the brass one on the left hand side?

thanx kris

no mate ... the mixture screw is sited top dead centre above carburettor / engine inlet should be brass screw with a slot in top .. it sits in a small recess... just like to also add kris... when you have found the sweet spot ( high tick over ) you should then reduce your idle speed with the idle screw which is on the left hand side should be a knurled screw... happy tuning matey..
