Are the two nuts by the throttle and two nuts by the carb. adjustments or are they suppose to be screwed all the way in?

You use the to take out any play that you may have in your throttle.

Yes they are supposed to be tight as well.

Maybe I will try to adjust the throttle cable then.
Doe's it matter what end I start on, the carb side or throttle side?
It seems that I have to turn the throttle about a quarter before I can hear the engine come off idle.
How do you know that when your throttle is open all the way that your carb. is open all the way?

Adjust on the throttle side. You will be able to get that 1/4 turn slack out and maybe give yourself more throttle which means more speed.

Unscrew the idle screw all the way and take the throttle cable nuts all the way loose. Turn the back nut against the cable bracket until you just get the slack out. Then slowly turn it more until you see that you can pull the throttle open right when you twist the grip. Make sure you don't go too far and wind up holding the throttle open with the cable adjustment - it's fine and advisable to leave a tiny hair of slack in it anyway. Then start it up and set your idle speed with the idle screw, and adjust the cable again to take out the bit of slack you get from adjusting the idle screw. Now screw the front nut up to the cable bracket and snug both nut together with two wrenches or pliers to lock it down.
If you had a 1/4 turn of 'nothing' before, you will definitely have 1/4 turn more giddy up now.

Adjusted the throttle cable and it did make a difference.
More responsive and 2 mph more on speedo.
I'm back to a screamer now.
Thanks for they advice.
