Default I need help adjusting my carbs

For all you guys that know much about a 1987 kawasaki ninja 600 plz do reply.
Bascially i just had my carbs cleaned by this professional near my house. i put em in and the bike ran perfect except one problem, It was pouring out gas like no other. So i thought how to fix this problem would be adjusting the mixture screws andobviously I waswrong. Now the bike now mater where i put the adjusting screws all it wants to do is rev high. there are also 3 screws on the top of the carb i adjusted which i believe sets the throtle for each carb or sync. i have turned down the idle all the way too if u think its that

well thanks for reading guys and hopefully i can get this fixed

sounds like float is stuck or not set at correct level.... 2 you need to sync the carbs but. need to fix floats first

start out fresh and where is your manual? Cleanliness, float height(and seat condition), idle screw, main jet and needle height, with proper synchornization. Check the plugs often, etc.

I love the term "Professional" lol. To me it's just someone who does it so much they stop caring about their work. If the carbs were overflowing when you first put them on and started it then its probably your floats, You will have to take the carbs apart and make sure its all good, or ask your professional to fix his mistakes.
