i went to adjust the A/F screws on my rvf carbs and one of the 4 brass nipples on the screw snapped off. holy shit says i, i'll have to be more careful with the next 3. oops, 3 snapped adjusters and only one fully screws out, so i can take the gamble and run the carbs with these settings or source new A/F screws from honda ( or any one else on here breaking a set of RVF carbs ....)

looking at the above manual i'm having trouble trying to finger out which on is the A/F screw.

can anyone help ?!?!?!

That's what I did.

Actually rather than fix the dogs on 2nd and the worn needles I replaced engine and carbs! 120quid; Bargain!

Not cheap buddy, but at least if you get new ones then you know they are new and not pobbibly buying another duff set of carbs with the same problems.

Always the problem isn't it, thankfully It was a decent sub 20k engine & carbs and made the world of difference.
