You can, and should, adjust the mixture screws while she's running, don't have to pull the carbs for that...

Thanks for the tip, Rich.
Are the mixture screws hidden underneath the golden plugs on the engine side?
Do I drill them out to access the screws?

They possibly are , but be carefull drilling out the brass plug, the mix screws are just below them,,,most places got the carbs with the rubber covers over the mix screws
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it
