Fuel mixture screws all need to be backed out by the same amount.  That said, there is no way to tell if they are by just looking at them - at least this is the case with mine.  You have to screw them all of the way in, counting the turns, then back them out until it idles best.  The procedure is clearly laid out in the FSM.  A 90 degree screwdriver helps a lot here.  

I've heard someone people can do it with a small screwdriver but I've never been able to make that work (maybe it's easier on an SOHC).
