Am I reading this right, there is a hole there but no screw? Either
the screw vibrated out or there is a 'tamper' cap over the mixture
screws that you will have to pry off to get at the adjustment and the
hole you are seeing doesn't actually go anywhere. Do you have any
pictures you can put up somewhere for us to look at? Have you tried
spraying carb cleaner into the hole you are describing with the engine
running? Any change? If so...chances are something is supposed to be
there and it's probably out laying in your yard right now ;-)
