Hi there!
I'm sorry but.. I couldn't understand fully what you were trying to say... :\
One of the things I think you are asking about the valve clearances and how to set them to normal position...
The other thing I have no idea...
Someone will surely come here and tell you how to do it properly!

Set intake at 0.10 and exhaust at 0.15. Remember to do it with a cold engine, as things expand when hot.
I dont know for the carb yestion, cant see why one would need to adjust it. But the manual for a 1990 states to raise the primary throttle valve to 7mm. Is that what your're asking?
