    what is the best way to remove the idle screw plug on my bike? Once I remove the plug is that something that needs to be replaced?

    Drill a hole and put a screw in the hole, pull it out. Be carefull, the mixture screw is just below the plug. Do not drill into it.
    The plug does not need to be replaced. I cover mine with plastic plugs to keep dirt and moisture out. They are available at any hardware store.

    Th Idle Screw is at th rear of th carbs..the Pilot Mixture Screw is front top.
    Th Brass Plug next to th plunger (which operates enrichment circuit ), will be a cap on th Pilot Screw and needs to be removed as mlew said.
    This may help as well..
