OK, where did it go???

I haven't ridden my '98 RSTC for a while, so I thought I'd make the wife's requested grocery run on it. Since it has not been run in a while, I thought I'd idle it up a little while I put on my helmet and gloves. Well, the little silver idle adjustment thumb screw is nowhere to be found. Has any one else had this happen? Will it come loose and pop back under the tank? Seems like I remember it was hanging on a little wire bracket, but I don't see that either.

I am working from memory here, because I sold my 98 TC about 3 years ago, but I am pretty sure the 98 did not have the same idle adjuster as the Venture (knob on a tube trick) on the right side of the bike. The 98 should have a knurled knob with a crosspoint in the center on the left side under the tank just aft of the carbs. Take a look there.

 

I could be all wrong, I do suffer from CRC syndrome now that I getting older.
