Evan, the plug on the bottom of the carb is actually a type of vent that allows excess gas to drip out. I find some have been replaced by pipe plugs, but that plug is the only way for excess gas to drip out and not flood the engine. It should have a piece of felt in the plug.
Each one starts a little different you just have to figure yours out, generally mine start like this. Set mag to start position, Set starter impulse( if manual set), turn on fuel at tank, set choke to full and upstroke crank one time, turn off choke,(a few drips of gas usually drip out of vent plug) recheck impulse, upstroke crank until it starts usually in one or two pulls. I never use the primer cups but some do, just make sure they are closed or it will never start as they won't let vacuum build in the carb if they are open.
