My 91 just had a new set of intake valves installed on new seats, and I have just re-adjusted the valves and bench synched the carbs. the engine has a jet kit installed with (I am told by the company) appropriate jet sizes for my 4800 ft elevation and Micron 4-1 exhaust.
I know that I now need to dynamically tune the carbs and to adjust for mixture on each. I mention mixture because the bike will not run with the airbox on, but does reasonably well with it off; though it hesitates due to lack of synchronization.
My question is: which issue should I address first? That of mixture or that of synchronization?
Also- What does the mixture screw control for- air or for fuel? It is either turned in to enrichen the pilot circuit or to lean it out.

Re: Steps to Carb Tuning
The mixture screws add or subtract fuel. The rule is, downstream of the float bowls=fuel control. Upstream = air.
A good bench synch should see this thing running-that's better than many bikes actually on the road. I think it hesitates due to lack of resonance from having no airbox.
If it ran before at the current carb settings with the airbox, it should still
