Mikuni Confusion

So how can my brand new Mikuni VM 26 not have a freaking idle adjustment? Knock off or for some bizarre unique application? So freaking pissed, bike runs good but can't adjust the darn idle, it dies as soon as you let off the throttle.

I believe you can replace that screw with the adjuster on the stock carb that you can use your fingers to adjust.

I've used my thumbnail in the slot of the screw to adjust it in a pinch.
