why are you replacing them, are you fitting larger ones?

memory test? fail, patience test is a bigger" fail, using the search feature on this site? massive fail..

so now ive got the jets in and once warm it runs sweet and can definitely feel the difference, now its a matter of curiosity and needing to get the thing starting a bit better when cold, so obviously i need to make some adjustments, im just not sure what the 2 screws on the carby adjust and which one i should adjust for the cold start ?

Those two screws won't help you. The one at the base of the carby adjusts the idle mixture, the other one adjusts hot idle speed.

What jets did you put in it? You may want to drop back down to a close-to-standard size jet for primary and a bigger for secondary. Otherwise play with the choke and make sure that's adjusted right and working properly.
