    I still can't find the location of the cap that hides the Pilot Screw.
    Is the only 1 per carb?

    Yes only only one per carb and is it on top beside the choke plunger. Some bikes have already had them removed by a PO.

    Is this the cap I must remove?

    That would be the one. Be careful drilling. You just want to get through the plug. DO NOT let the drill get away from you. If you do a pilot screw will be the only repair in a best case scenario. Worst case; carb body. good luck. I use a 3/32 drill bit then screw in a drywall screw and pull straight out. Take a bit of muscle but out it comes.

    Thanks, I was tempted to remove but wasn't sure. Off to the garage I go...
