I just went out again. and when it starts to bog down i took the plugs out and gave pulled it over a few times thinking it was flodded...... it fired right back up ad worked again for about 10 min.. where are those screws ont he carbs suppost to be at? i think its getting to much fuel

What was the condition of the plugs when you pulled them out? Wet/Oily? Also do you have a compression tester that you can test to see if you have a ring problem?
