Should be a retard port.  The advance port on ZS carbs is on the top.

But it's easy enough to check, just hook up a line and see if it has vacuum
at idle.  If you don't have a vacuum gauge, just hold your finger over the
end of the line for a second, then see if it pulls at your finger as you
pull it away.

Personally, I'd leave it that way.  The vacuum retard wastes fuel and
increases CO2 emissions; which seem to me to be more serious problems than
any slight reduction in CO and HC it might provide.
