The reason you find the mixture screw capped or plugged is not due to the factory. They are mandated to do this by the EPA under the clean air act. The factory in order to import their product into the USA has to comply to the polution standards for co2 and hydrocarbons set fourth by the EPA. As of 2009 many shippments were held up in customs due to the fact that the calibration of the carb could be changed which they said was in violation of the clean air act, so the importers such as Kinroad, Hammerhead, Roketa had millions if not billions of dollars being held up at customs until they resolved the issue. Many engines using the slide carbs had to be sealed by melting the carb filling in the mixture screw cavity, others which could be capped were capped. So don't look at the manufacturers as the source of the problem for the problem lies with the dispicable parasites from hell we voted in to office. We all need to get much more active in what is going on in this country cause if not it is going to get much worse very quickly especially if cap and trade is passed cause if so you can kiss this sport goodby for all you might be able to afford to buy or even drive are peddle buggies.Please everyone get involved with what is going on now in this country before we all wake up one day and regret.
