Idle Adjustment on an 82...

I can only find one adjustment screw on my 82--I suspect this is the air mixture screw? Where is the idle screw (or how do I adjust the idle on an 82)?

If your standing at the drivers side fender it's located on the lower right corner of the carb. The screw has a long dowel like head with a Phillips drive. Look under the accelerator pump (the square thing with a screw in each corner and a rod that goes in and out when you work the throttle by hand.

I thought so, that's where it is on the 85. However, it seems that someone has broken off the head of the screw... Any ideas? Is it even possible to replace the screw?
