By hand and just snug.

Take one of the offending screws out and spin it between your fingers. Does it feel smooth or feel lumpy? If lumpy, those are a locking type screw which will eventually strip out the holes they are being run into. If thats what you have, replace with regular units so you won't have to repair or replace your carb.

They were not locking screws. Already tapped and replaced. If it happens again I'll just tap for the next size up.
