People 150 / They cap the air-fuel screw!

I opened up my new People 150 today to tune the carb and remove the emissions junk, and saw that they do in fact cover the air fuel screw. Apparently it has to do with emissions. Anyway, my scooter was running slightly lean. It was jetted correctly, but it felt like it was getting too hot, and ran a little rough. So we busted off the cap, drilled a hole into the screw, which allowed us to stick a star bit in there to adjust it. A better way is to use a dremel to carve out a line, so you can use a flat head screw driver, but we didn't have a dremel.
To all y'all who have had trouble tuning your carbs, this is probably why. You can change jets for days, but it will never be spot on until you adjust the air fuel ratio along with it. To do that you'll need to pop the cap.
