One technique to remove an anti-tamper cap is to drill a hole barely through the center of the cap, without drilling into and damaging the underlying pilot screw.
Start the tip of an appropriately sized metal screw into the hole, until firmly inserted. Then grip the screw with pliers and pull out the cap.
Good Fortune!

Do not see a pic or know what type, model, size carb your taking about?
I see you live close to Washington DC.
Maybe Nobamas Green inititve coverts came out and infiltrated your garage, turned the screws all the way lean. plugged them so you could not mess with them. that will save the planet! Is your 2-cycle weed wacker missing also?
Just a thought?
