Missing a screw on my carb, not sure which one it is. It was gone when I got the bike.

from the perspective of that pic its hard to tell ... but it looks like your air screw is missing.... take a side shot and post it .... but im almost positive its your airscrew

That would explain some of my running issues I am going to assume!

Well, when I got the bike it was running like crap somewhat, pipe, silencer and air filter are only mods. Plug was BLACK and it had a 162 jet in it. I dropped to a 160 and it runs better then I noticed that was missing. I just bought a carb kit on ebay since my bowl gasket is shot. I will not be running it anymore until I get that screw and the gasket.

Suggestions on setting that screw properly when I get it? Where should the clip be on the needle valve as well???

screw in all the way until it LIGHTLY bottoms out and back out about 3/4 turns and start there
