No worries, always good to help out
Mollydog makes some good points there and re side cover captive nuts, easy to lose them!
if you do not do the carb mod, you can also do what a buddy of mine did, which is to enlarge the snorkel hole in airbox and have a flap mounted on a single bolt to the side of hole, so that you can rotate the flap and cover/uncover a varying amount of the air intake, this with the extended fuel screw will give good easy adjustability at up to ~10,000 feet - as Mollydog mentions, as you get up high, if the bike is losing more power pull the side cover off and adjust fuel screw some more.
I wear pretty thin leather road gloves, so I can adjust the extended fuel screw on the move now - it takes a bit of practice but you have lots of time to do that going up the hills in Bolivia and Peru
I prefer the Procycle fuel screw which has the flat side on the screw head, much easier to make adjustments and know how many turns out the screw is.
