Another carb balancing question

Hi, I'm trying to do my own basic maintenance on my 1998 bird to save a few bob. I've got all the plastics and tank off so I'd like to balance the carbs. I've read Jaws earlier reply about doing two at a time, but I'm not sure which are the adjusting screws. When I've had a look between the carbs I can see three adjusting screws. Are these them? I was expecting one for each carb.

There are only three adjusting screws because one carb is the baseline and you set the others to it.

On the BB - carb 3 is the base carb.

JAWS means you should first match 1 to 2 and 4 to 3

then match 2 to 3
