The mixture screw on the 32PDSIT allows more fuel in as it is undone, rather
than more air.  If the plugs that side were sooty, it may be you have so
much fuel coming in due to a leaking needle-valve eg (and hence a too-full
or overflowing float chamber) that the small changes on the mixture screw
don't have much effect.  Are the chokes opening correctly?
It doesn't sound much like an air leak if the plugs are very sooty.  (Check
the ignition is OK to that head).
