Some people go 4 turns which could potentially help you. Maybe yours just feel looser than others but they shouldn't come loose if you go to 4 turns. There are little rubber seals on them that would probably keep them from vibrating loose.
By the way, when i first removed my AI i also had pretty bad starting problems which i also found some others have had after removing the AI. But it seemed like mostly people with California models so i attributed it to the Ca emissions canisters. Maybe not tho. maybe just some bikes develop this after AI removal for some reason. I'm not saying thats why, but for me and some others it was. Anyway, after i put the thunderbike pipes on it stopped doing that. Maybe it's just a certain state of tune that when just right causes it and any changes eleviates it. I'd try at least 3-1/2 turns and see if that helps.
