All, sorry I meant looking underneath the carb, bit dificult to take a picture as they are on the bike now but if you have the same non-cv carbs I presume they are all the same.
Also should have mentioned it's a GS1000EC
Regards

Aint had a Gs for donkeys. My moneys on air mixture screws. Someone will confirm shortely. I normally gently screw min all the way. Dont force them, then unscrew the 2.25 turns i think thats what the manual says from memory

If it's this screw, it's an air screw I think, it's 0.8 turns out on a GS1000S, but I think it's 1.5 turns out for a normal GS1000

It shouldn't really be sluggish if all you've done is adjust the screws, have you had the carbs off for any reason, cleaning etc?
Also it might be worth doing a compression check on each cylinder, for reference.
