Idle mix

Are the mixture in my 82 gs 750 carbs on the top intake side under a flat plug?

yes they came like that from the factory. To prevent you from toying with them (its against the law you know ) The good news is, since yours are virgin and unmolested, they shouldnt get buggered up when you take them out to clean your carbs.. You'll need to drill a smallish pilot hole and then thread a drywall screw or something into the plug to get it out..

carbs have already been dipped, with the screws in. It's a little rich at low end, figured I'd check them and make sure they haven't vibrated out of adjustment.

There's a small o-ring beneath that screw that can be destroyed by carb cleaner. You should remove and replace this o-ring.

Yeah, I'm going with WILL BE destroyed...
My just be possible for the RICH idle mixture with NO o-rings left.

To remove the o-ring use a skinny screw and thread the washer and o-ring on it. Be gentle not to rebore the hole in the carb throat.
Hopefully the o-ring isn't pudding.
