Congrats on the Pilot!
Air screw:The air fuel screw on the 2 stroke carb isn't like the air screw on the older carbs that you have to adjust until the Engine starts to die the back it out a quarter turn until it runs good. The screw can be left in the position that the owners manual states.
Idle adjustment without a tach:You want to adjust the idle on the Engine as low as possible without stalling and a tachometer isn't needed. Just go get her good and warmed up and then adjust the idle down to the point where it runs smooth and doesn't stall.
Non Ethanol Premium:Yes! The mixture of 20 to 1 is a bit rich for these days as the 2 stroke oil have improved tremendously in technology.
Small Carb Tubes:Yes these are the vent/drain tubes.
