Dennis. The finger screen is under the big hex brass screw on the side of the carburetor. After cutting the safety wire you unscrew, clean and replace. Be careful here. The screw is rarely moved on many carburetors and can be rusted in place. So before you brake something, go ask someone. The carb float chamber is flushed by unscrewing the other brass screw on the bottom of the carburetor.
See the attached picture. I turned the carb upside down in that picture. The grounding strap should be on your engine. You need a clear electrical connector between engine case and airframe. Otherwise the currency will find its way through electrical components. That can be burning your accessories in the worst case when actuating the starter. The ground straps should be short and very close to the engine mount. You might have one there, they are sometimes hard to see due to overspray.
