Default Where's the idle mixture screw at?

Someone asked about this so I decided to post a picture of where you can find this at. The trick is that some carbs have a cap over this screw. The idea is that the factory adjusted it to where they wanted it to be set at and don't feel like you should be messing with it. However, therer are times when you flat out need to! For example, when you re-jet for any reason at all (think mods) you will probably need to make some adjustments. If yours has a cap on it, it looks like a solid piece of metal there however the fact is it is simply a cover. Take a small drill bit and drill right into the center of it JUST BARELY BREAKING THOUGH THE CAP as to not actually drill into the screw behind it. Then thread a sheet metal screw into the hole you just drilled, and pluck the screw (with cap attached) out to remove the cover. Then you will have access to the adjusting screw. Attached are a few pictures showing where the screw is located which is on the choke side of the carb.
