    Yes, it is in the same location on my mikuni carbs (Turbo Seca), front of the carb body, accessible from above in a recessed hole.

    There isn't an idle plunger. There is a "choke" or "enrichment" plunger. a/f screw you are asking about IS the pilot, or idle, mixture screw, in that it ONLY adjust the mixture at idle.

    i meant to say "choke", my bad.

    Thinking about too many things at once.

    Mine still have the brass "plugs" so i will have to drill those out. Thank you for the reply.

    No.....you didn't mean to say "choke"--you meant to say 'enricher'. :)

    ....and yes, you'll need to drill and pull the caps, as you said.
