First off, none of these pics are mine, they are all "copied" from earlier threads here:

As the carbs come from the factory (at least in the US) there is a thinnish brass plug pressed into the "turret" over the screw head to keep citizens of the Land of the Free from messing with it. If that's in place, you'll have to take the carbs out and carefully drill a hole in the plug to remove it.
