is 2 turns from seated the factory settings? and getting to the mix screw just above the starter is a right pain, long time to do it with a pointy nose pliers
2 turns out is factory settings and people say here that the Fazer runs rich so you shouldn't have to back it off further really reilly!!. :b
It's probably hard to check without a special tool, but the fuel level needs to be 4.5mm above the chamber level or float bowl. Download the manual from the website and you see what I mean. Check also that your fuel pump is ok and that you have no kinks in the line or breather hoses.
Seems to me you are starved of fuel or air, but I'd be looking at other areas other than the Pilot screws if they are set to 2 turns out. Even if the carbs were way out, she still should fire up and run IMO but I'd try what His Dudeness said anyway just as a process of elimination. I only balanced my carbs a while back and they were way out but the bike still ran away and fired up every time. I just was the smoothest at tickover. Best of luck, man. You have great tolerance!! :wall
