Your problem lies in your jet size or your GAV adjustment; the air adjustment screw only affects idle, and works in conjunction with the idle jet and the secondary well. It is part of the idle system, and shouldn't impact how rich the engine runs at driving speeds. That is controlled with the GAV, as noted above by others.
He lives in south africa so getting parts takes time and money.

If you do a search for flow testing you should find info on how to test and size the jets here on the barn.
