Needle adjustment questions

While cleaning the carbs I noticed the diaphragm needle only has one notch. Is this normal? I'm guessing maybe I can buy an adjustable one along with larger jets?
Also, I know my main jet is the one in the center. But where is my pilot? Do I have to drill out a cover somewhere?

I still can't find anywhere that sells the bowl drain screws I need. They're kind of long and tapered with an o-ring.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

You don't have to replace the plug with a new one. Just replace the o-ring on it.

Is the plug needed? The BS34's utilize plugs over the pilot jets too, and I often wonder the answer. They are a pita to deal with, but if not necessary to be there, I may choose to leave them out next time I jet...
