Carb Question

I'm kind of new to working on carbs. Which of these plugs is the Idle (pilot) Air screw under? I'm guessing the brass one, but I'd hate to drill the wrong one.

I'm going to try drilling a small hole and screw in a wood screw and pull out the plug. This is what the guys at the dealer recommended. If that fails, I'll just drill the whole thing out.

STOP!!!! IT'S NOT THE BRASS ONE!!! You drill that and you're in a world of hurt!

It's the long one sticking down on the right in your picture.

A little JB weld can fix anything right? J/k I did some additonal web search and figured out it was the silver one... but I waited for you to reply. I'll start drilling now.
