need help on carb adjusting

my question is do i need to pull of the airbox or can i adjust the screws with it in? Also where are the screws located and what should i look for? Are they on the side of the carb or on the front or back? i have tired to look it up but i couldnt find the anwser i was looking for.

if it's an R motor they're two white screws If your talk air mixture screws there on the right side i've always had to pull carbs to get to them by hand might be able to get to them from the chain case side but better to pull carbs so you can tell where they are set at jmo hope this helps

ya that helps i was just wishing i could do it without pulling everything off. i know the pipe i put on is the reason it has the high idea problem. once i hit it with the choke its back to normal.

might be a little lean if your having to put fuel to it to idle down depending on whats done you might have to put larger pilot jets as well, have had to do that some times hope this helps

Are you sure it's the pipe causing it? A torn reed boot, plugged pilot jet or stuck DPM solenoid are very common & can cause a high idle. I would rule these 3 things out before changing the fuel mixture.
 
I seem to recall being able to get to the screws on the ZX....just a long screwdriver and some creative angles to get in there...Or just pull the airbox which is quick and easy. Open the screws up about 1/2 turn (richer). Bottom them out to see where they are currently set and to be sure they are adjusted evenly.
As said, make sure there isn't an air leak causing the high idle.
