Basically, you need 3 things for combustion - fuel, air and spark. These can all be adjusted to get just the right mix for the engine to fire efficiently (more or less fuel and air, and different heat spark plugs).
Best bet is to refer to your friendly Haynes manual for your bike to see how to set them up.
Hope that helps,
Cath

Hi

It is easy to bugger up a carb with the needle screw, and someone tightening it right in hard in the past could well damage it.

Anyway, there is this on carbs in the FAQ section:-

All the best
