and once again 2 carb screws have escaped!!! they have sodding nylock on them how do they keep escaping???
think i might drill the holes out tomorrow and put some tiny bolts through them!!!
going to have to upgrade to fuel injection so I don't have to keep replacing the screws

Maybe try a tiny bit of thread locker on them
There's three ways of doing things:

And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
