    Default Classic Fifty idle screw???

    While monkeying with my 89 Classic Fifty, I noticed that the carb's are missing their adjusting screw as per the book. According to the book they should be (facing into the carb bore) on the right side of the carb body. I look there and all I find is a sealed blockoff plate. Looking the carbs all over I cannot find the adjustment screws?

    Any input?
