I just want it running as close to perfect as I can get it, I hate paying someone to do stuff I can learn to do myself. I did notice a carburetor pop sometimes after riding on the highway for half an hour then getting off and sitting at a stop light giving it a little throttle. Here I thought i was running rich, 1/4 turn out and no pop today after riding to work.
 
doing a wide open cut would more tell you about main jet not a/f screw
That's True, I didn't even think about the fact that he did a Plug Chop at WOT.
I looked at mine after Idling for a few minutes to check how they looked when adjusting my A/F Screws.
I also adjusted them to a point where it idled well and there was No Decelleration popping while riding.
My Settings will NOT necessarilly be the same as yours even when our setup was the same because they are 2 different sets of carbs.
See attached Plug Pic. ( I don't think I could get it much better that this)

To set air fuel mixture you need a sniffer and you would need to take the muffler's off. Each screew will have a different setting. I think the front right one is only out about 3/4 turn or so. When we got done with my bike i dident have any black at all and the ceramic was white. the bike ran great. But i cant leave well enough alone and i have brown ceramic and black end on the plug now. But all i need to do is go back to clip 3 on the needle. Im trying to make more torq for the dragstrip. if it run's faster i will leave it. if it dont i will go back to clip 3 and be happy.
 
Nice and clean.
