Ahh, much better pic!! Yes, the center is the needle valve, and the side is the drain. Your bolt needs to be alot pointyer, as DRNO pointed out.

Mechanical stuff is pretty easy, alot easier at this level than electronics!!! Small engines can be a pain, but they are just extra sensitive to dirt and crud, especially the carbs.

The new plug will help, just make sure you do not soot it up by running it too rich. Plug should be light tan when the engine is warm and running well. Much darker and you need to lean the mixture some. Turn the screw in more...

Reading plugs is the old timer way to do it... But it still works... You are reminding me to do the maintainance on my generator...
