If you havn't already found them the mixture screws are located at the front of the carbs just in front of the float bowl. For the K3 they should be about 1.5 turns out.

 I hope that you havn't lost the very small 'o' ring that goes above the very small washer that sits on top of the spring that goes onto the mixture screw...

these carbs have been completely rebuilt with new o rings needles floats etc. i made sure i read a whole heap of builds on the .net site before hand but thanks for the concern.
