New Recon carb doesn’t have a pilot screw?

To make a long story short, I came across an 06 Recon last week. the guy said he put a new carburetor on it and I specifically asked if it was a honda carb. He said it absolutely was, straight from the dealer.

After some work with a kinked fuel line and a backwards one way vale on the tank overflow I had it running. After it ran for a bit the idle goes a little haywire. So after some thought I realized I never adjusted the fuel/air mixture.

Here’s where I’m stumped. After some looking around I expected to find the "D" shaped pilot screw but I don’t have one. Further, it appears my passage is blocked off. I have the old carb (probably not anything wrong with it the guy said) so I tried fitting the old pilot screw into the new carb. The passage is definitely blocked.

I have to be missing something easy. Anyone have any ideas?
