I would guess it's some sort of tree hugging emissions baloney, but you wouldn't think the 100 would put out enough to warrant any attention. FWIW a 24mm carb really wakes up the throttle response anyway.
A lot of bikes come with a pressed in cap over the mixture screw. Lots of 600cc bikes did and the jet kits came with a drill and screw to pull it out. If it has a steel pressed in cap there is more than likely a screw under it. On the parts diagram the mixture screw is #6 I bet its still there under the epoxy or a cap.
