No, not normal.
If it has no air screw, it is not a Mikarb.

The air bleed screw is typically a smaller angled shrouded screw an inch or so from the large throttle stop screw toward the mouth of the carb.
Same location as Mikuni.

Never underestimate the value of improved combustion efficiency and reducing parasitic engine and rolling chassis losses.
