Judging by the screw next to it, it's more likely to be a drain. Undo the screw and fuel drains out, do it up and it stops.

The seal on the end of the screw is probably knackered or maybe you've been messing about with that screw trying to 'adjust the air mix' to see if you can get more power?

Put a bucket or something underneath the drain pipe (to catch the fuel) and loosen that screw off a little until fuel starts to flow out.. when it does just turn the screw in the opposite direction to tighten it back up again.

Start there and report back, could just need a new screw or it's worked loose due to vibration.

You may want to turn off the petrol from the tank whilst messing about. You don't really want to let the tank drain out of there....
