On a 4 stroke its a fuel screw.. on a 2 stroke its a air screw.. most are on the bottom of the carb..in sort of a pocket in the back of the bowl..it will have a spring under it.. If you see a screw and think that cant be it.. its impossible to get to.. you have found it..

that's correct. you have then found the proverbial piece of the puzzle in which an apparatus was built around it!. i know everyone has seen something like it in their lifetime. something so hard to get to, it seems the factory started right there and built the quad/car/pickup truck/or whatever around it!. i never understood that, BUT, it happens!

Well, I did both. Cleaned carb and adjusted screw, ran much better but I will let it cold start before I'm happy

Still having the same problem, stalling when i give it gas. Should i adjust the air screw inside the carb? I think i should adjust the air jet next to the main jet? What do you think? I've tried adjusting the small impossible to find screw with no luck.

did you remove the jets out of the carb when you cleaned the carb? were they in your hand? could you see daylight through all of the orifices?
