06 X has the drain screw , I installed one on my 02 450R , I can't remember if 08 has it or not , but I know for a fact 06 does , as my X is a 06 , and that is what I ordered for my R and it now has a drain screw ..
What most of us do for the AP is to put a small O-Ring on the linkage for the slide .... I will find the link to the "mod" and post it
EDIT:
This is the Float Bowl : 16015-MEN-851 CHAMBER SET, FLOAT , it is part #5 for the 06 450X Carb

Here is the link to the Pump Mod , it shows how to do the O-Ring mod or the other option using Safety Wire
