I think you should turn it clockwise until it stops *without forcing it to*.

Don't take my advice too seriously as I don't know much about bikes.

I also need to adjust my mixture as theres loads of black stuff that covers exhaust after each ride!

sounds like you need to get your carb cleaned out and the jets blown through with compressed air. If you're not noticing much improvement by moving the screw then there must be dirt in it.
