The adjuster is there. If you can't see it, tis because you have a model that
had the lead "anti-tamper" caps. As stated here, just knock them out. On
the ones with the anti-tamper cap, the adjusting screw is shorter; short
enough that it's recessed slightly into the body. This may be why someone
thought theirs was broken off.

I don't think anyone would catch the blanked gasket trick without disassem'ing
the carbs. To clarify what I thought I might have said... You can diasble the
decel valves by replacing the normal mounting gasket with one that is blank;
no air passage holes in it. Just the three screw holes.
