If you are looking at the carb from the driver side, it is on the lower right side of the carb just under the accelerator pump. If you have your emissions equipment intact, it may be a bit difficult to see. It's been a few years since I've had to navigate through all that **** but it's in there, try using a small mag light or something.

Forgot to mention that the idle mixture screw is on the bottom center of the carb. If you look at your fuel line inlet and return lines and look straight down from there, that will be the idle mixture screw.

I think he has a slightly different (older maybe) as his are top and bottom vs center and left side.
