    Thats the air/fuel screw as stated above. Also it doesn't look broken, but i'm sure he just sent you a general 250sx carb picture to show you the screw.
    Anywho, he should be fine running it like that, aslong as he isnt doing any upgrades, such as a pipe, etc. Should be in the stock position, and should run just fine as soon as the carbs cleaned.

    The one on my 350x snapped when i tried to turn it, i guess sitting in a shed for 15 years does that to a poor lil brass screw.
