Best tip on these kickers I've ever had is when you're done using it each time disconnect the fuel line and run it empty. These carbs hate the ethanol in our fuel. Also there is a small port on the side of the carb you can drill out, it tends to get gummed up. I've had this done on every 9.9 and my mechanic said he does it to all of the ones he works on without even asking bc the problem is so consistent.

The brass thing on the side of the carburetor you are referring to is just a brass plug that cover the air mixture screw. It's covered due to EPA regulations you can get the plug out to adjust the mixture if necessary. But don't start drilling on that plug if you don't know what you are doing.
