Those are the float bowl drain valves, they should be tight. If they're loose that means the drains are open and fuel could/will be running out of the bowls. Not good.

I'd recommend getting the D-shaped tool from newbonneville and messing with your idle mixture a little, that hole is located near the wires for the carb heaters, kind of centered on the float bowls (bottom of the carbs).

Also, you may need a bigger main and possibly may want to add a shim to your needles.

I'd tighten those float bowl drain screws and add a bigger main, and do the D-screw thing first, then maybe add a shim.
