Yes but it might be hard to find. Try a search on "bowl"; shouldn't be too many hits on that.

At the bottom of the carb is a nipple and brass screw. The nipple is the drain and the screw is the ON/OFF valve. Don't remember if the nipple has a hose attached or not; I think not.

You actually can drain the whole tank through that nipple......if you also put the petcock on PRIme.......but that might not be a good idea as any "crud" in the tank might end up in the carb bowl.
