Thanks for the reply bike still starts but only with small amount of throttle they dont have to be balanced again or anything do they if i take the carbs off

no need to re-sync carbs. The throttles are linked together. You just need to re-install the idle-adjuster screw.

What year is your bike BTW.

hi there--no you dont need to take off the carbs to attach the idle screw--remove the petrol tank and the air box with filter--plug the carb openings in case you drop something in the engine!!!!- look just below the carb opening and you will see the float bowls and using an led torch(very bright for spotting in dark places) you can see the horizontal shaft that connects the four carbs with springs attach .in between the middle two carbs you will see a small square block of alloy with a threaded hole--thats where the idle adjuster threaded end lives!! careful as you screw it back in that you do not crossthread it
