No one has seen this before?then it might be a good troubleshooting technique for all the threads of carb related cylnders not firing,again by backing out of the adj screw almost all the way it started firing,as soon as i pull the carbs and find out what was wrong with the carb i'll post it

Clean em out.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
