I have carburetor "issues" on my B&S V-Twin 12 HP generator engine. The
engine has less than 20 hours on it... so I'm convinced it doesn't need a
rebuild kit.

I'm sure that the gas in the tank had gotten very old, so I've tried
cleaning the carburetor, but it still doesn't work.

There is a needle valve on the outside that is covered with a plastic cap
that I can't remove. I think this is the culprit.

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic cover for this needle valve. The
cover has a notch on it that limits it's movement.

Anyone who can help me with this is worth a gazillion bucks.

Thanks.... Greg

that screw only really affects the idle mixture. what is it doing?
the problem may be elsewhere if we knew what the real symptoms were we
could help
