Default Carb Problem

I finally got the idle down by the throttle connection. The problem I have NOW is when I tried to get the throttle down by adjusting the carb screw, I took it to far out. When I took it for a test drive the idle screw worked out the rest of the way and is now gone. Is the idle screw easy to replace or even get for a 96 sportsman 500

Got lucky and found it deep into the crack by belt, spring was gone but everything else was still there. Thanks
