Main jets are replaceable.   If you grind of the tab on the idle screw or the bowls you get around that limit.

hes talking about the pilot screws. you can unscrew them after you take off the float bowls. usually, you dont have to change the slow jets , just richen the pilot screws.

Yes and if your carbs are the slider variety with non adjustable main jet needles, use small washers underneath the clip to richen operation under mid throttle conditions.
