Are you sure this isnt the fuel/air screw that you are refering to. The pilot should just screw into the carb in the bowl section of it and should not be adjustable, just like the main. The fuel air screw will definitly not work correctly with a bent tip, misssing o-ring, or missing spring. These are all integral parts. I would buy a carb rebuild kit and keep the carb that you already have. You never know if the next carb you buy will have the same issues that this one does. A rebuild kit should come with all new seals, gaskets, and normally some jets and a f/a adjustment.
The only "carbs" that have adjustable pilot screws are not actually carburators, they are fuel metering systems and not normally used in larger four stroke carburators. These fuel metering systems use a high and low speed adjustment and sometimes a mid range also. Normally used on small two stroke motors and older jet skis."

I got the CLYMER book in front of me and clearly shows the pilot screw assembly well the one I pulled when cleaning is missing parts. The carb is brand new that I ordered, should be a plug and play thats what the guys feedback says!

i have a feeling theres just a vocab misunderstanding, im sure the mixture screw has a term using pilot is some books and is confused with pilot jet, 2 diff things but people use close words to call them, i believe audioworks is right when they are talkin bout the "fuel/air screw" but use a different turm to call it. idk maybe thats where the confusion is coming from. because yeah the pilot jet should not be adjustable and is simply screwed in.
maybe im just adding confusion hahaha

The pilot jet is adjustable and is inside the carb bowl. The pilot screw is on the out side of carb! The pilot jet is what I was originally talking about. If you adjust this correctly, of course with a straight jet(not bent) and o ring, plus spring. You should be O.K. The carb kit is really the answer. Getting another used carb, you may just be taking on previous owners problems. Just get what you need for $15 bucks, a carb kit. This should solve all problems!

Yea your right on the money!! Thats the one that is bent on the outside under the bowl. Just to clear things up I bought a brand new carb off ebay. After shipping its 33 bux, I say good price to get rid of a headache.

Man does anyone ready threw the posts LOL

good luck with the new carb, it will either work perfect or be even more problems than what u got now. haha damn chinese knock offs, better off going with OEM and getting the rebuild kit

Bought from a guy that had good feedback on the 200s carb, said NO ADJUSTMENTS RUNS AWESOME stuff like that. Think I will be good. I hope

Hope it works out for ya. You know the original OEM carbs were also made in china, so there all china crap in theory! You just need to find on without problems, is all! Once you get ahold of one without problems and proper maintenance, you should be fine!
