Need to Know what year !!! and if it's a mikkuni 40mm the jet is under a brass cap thats need's to be drilled out for access. And that would be located on the back side of the carb facing feul tank. :)

I thought the air fuel mixture screw is under the brass cap that has to be drilled, the pilot is in the carb and accessible by removing the fuel bowl.

Also does it have a couple wires going to the bottom of the carb, if so that is your carb heater,.. you could be freezing up if the heater is not working.
