| from what I can read it is inside the float bowl for some reason but not sure why.
They make a remote one that you drill through the float bowl and it adjusts like the idle though, you might keep checking but that is what I found on some forums online. _________________ President, MOKAN RIDERS OFFROAD CLUB WWW.MOKANRIDERSOFFROAD.COM

| Ya on the newer 06 FCR carbs they made it non adjutable fuel screw, like said adove u take the bowl off and drill it out and replace the fuel screw with one from a 04-05 carb and your done. |

| Thanks guys. I guess that's why I couldn't find it. Dumb place to put a fuel screw. |

| The fuel air mixture screw is on the front side of the carburator. Very odd place to put it. and it is way up in there so its very hard to reach. |

| yes. It is on the front side of the carburator on the bottom. Almost impossible to find. To get to it you would need to use a screw driver with a bend at the top. |

| Glad to hear that you found it. Probably one of those special part number screw drivers or something too. |

| Of course you need a special screw driver, they do this shat on purpose so they can make money. Most people just take it to the shop and pay $100 or more dollars to have the techs do it for them. |
