tightened but not " Stripped" they are made of bronze.. or some very soft metal.. don't need to go crazy on them..
if the air/fuel and idle screw don't have any effect when you turn them... something is dirty in there....
Don't try to adjust a dirty carb.. it will never work right.
Backfire when you slow down using engine compression is normal for a high flow exhaust.. my SX did that before i had the holes welded up.. staring again.. as the welds fall out over time. ( i need a new pipe ! )

I was just thinking the same problem happened to me around christmmas with my SX. My prob was I plugged the overflow because I couldnt clean it good enough. As what might have been stated before take the jets out and clean them BOTH WAYS. That was my prob, I sprayed into the jet hole and the stuff couldnt get out so it just kept running out the overflow. Spray into the jet hole and the other side of the hole.

use a broom nylon brisslte to clean the holes one by one.
DO NOT USE METAL WIRE. if you enlarge the holes on that jet .. it's toast. Picture holes on a hand pump spray bottle.. if you make them big. you get droplets and not a mist.
