also if i followed the manual of "X" turns out, will that be good enough or should i be using the carb balancer with it?
I believe "X" turns out will do quite well. I does for me. However, if you want to be perfect, then the fine tuning of these jets is done with a tach that can read changes of 50 rpm or less. Reading a little farther in the Honda manual will explain that procedure. I do not have such a tachometer so I just set mine 2 & 1/4 out and it seems to be running fine.
