GT380 carb setup questions

[jbswear]

First off, a huge thanks to Fred (Buffalo-Guy) for sending me three nearly whole carb bodies for my GT380, gratis. It's nice to see that karma still works these days!

I'm gonna swap out the bad parts with what he sent me tomorrow (if I can steal some time from the family, that is).

Can you guys direct me to a link/page that would tell me the basic set up for these things? I can put them together no problem. Heck, I've had them apart too many times already!

I'm running stock plugs and stock pipes, but I have removed the long-disintegrated OEM air filter and box and replaced it with pod filters. Screen, not foam.

I believe the mains on the carbs now are size 80. I believe the little spring loaded screws on the carb bodies are the air screws, right? How do I set them? Should I go up to 85's or 90's on the mains for the pod filters?

Again, thanks!
