Your machine has a rotary-valve diaphragm type carburetor. These carburetors typically only have an adjustment for the IDLE speed with an available option to control the main jet with an adjustable mixture needle.

Here is the info on the Zama rotary-valve diaphragm carburetor.

Some have a small adjustment needle in the center pivot of the rotory part, under a brass plug...but most have nothing. Many end users and techs are complaining about the non-adjustable carbs. They are made this way to meet the more stringent EPA emissions codes that are getting tougher each year.

    They also state (as I haven't worked on one yet), that you can remove the plastic plug on the flat side of the carb flush with the purge plate, and access a small adjustment screw and many of th units have a mixture jet located there.

There are adjustment screws in most if not all carburators. Its cheaper to take to a small engine shop to have adjustments made then paying fines that could accure from doing your own repairs on epa regulated equipment.

There is probably dirt blocking the main fuel supply to the engine. You need to strip and clean the carb, preferably fitting a new carb kit at the same time. Clean out all the passages and orifices by blowing them out, but be careful of loosing small parts like filter screens and screws.
