| I have no idea its origin, all my screws were accounted for in the disassembly so it isn't like I was short a screw somewhere.
Here is the crazy part, there is a silencer box on the carbs, its bottom isn't level with the bottom of the carbs. So it had to have a perfect bump to jump in the carb throat.
After the perfect bump to jump it had to go around my main jet in the card, most likely another bump to jump around it.
After the main jet I have a manifold bracket that houses the butterfly valve. Probably at 3/4 throttle is the opening big enough for the screw to make it through, but again it had to jump up to make it past that.
Once past the butterfly valve, the screw has a wide open road to the reed cage. But if you look at where the screw is at, its not the bottom reed pedal, its in the third one up, again this screw defied gravity at the perfect time to have the reed open enough (which is like .05 of a second at idle or like .007 of a second at WOT) to get its foot in the door enough to take hold and make a home.
How long its been there, I have no idea. It could have came from the factory that way, I do not know
