That is correct. All the mixture adjustment is under
that black cap on the top of the carb in the dashpot.
This gives you access to adjust the mixture. The tool
you need is like an hex wrench with a tube around it
to stop the other carb parts from turning with the
needle. Remember that counterclockwise is lean,
clockwise is rich. I have adjusted mine the other day
and it didn't seem to help the smell of rich exhaust.
Mybe it needs more adjustment? Good luck.
