Listing your current jetting, intake/exhaust mods, and riding environment (elev. temps) would help.

The fuel screw is only for fine-tuning the pilot circuit.

their is a pump shot adjustment and the needel adjustment when i adjust ether 1 it does not help or hurt the runing of the motor.

Whoops, sorry I missed the Quicksilver carb part. I've not played with one so I'm not much help.
