Epoxy on the idle set screw?!? Really? Can we get some pictures if ya have the chance?
I've heard some manufacturers plug or otherwise disable the fuel/air mix set (some Mercury/Yamaha outboards)... but never the idle adjustment... that's just weird... Perhaps it's a mistake?
i'm sure you can chisel it off!! the screw in the rear is air the one in front is idle cns carb I take it.
almost 99% of the time you need to run the air screw all the way in. which means you need a bigger pilot jet mikuni series 22 jets fit the cns carbys. I am yet to find a main jet to replace the cns solder and reamers is the way to go
Just about every carbed motorcycle has the fuel screws capped off.

If they epoxied it, just use some acetone or MEK to soften it, and dig it out.
Worst case scenario- use the cable adjuster on the top of the carb to pull the slide up slightly, so it will idle high enough.
