Nice work. I never remember to take a picture until AFTER some part has fallen out or moved from a location that I didn't notice before it moved. That's exactly what happened with my carb rebuild I tried to do the other day on a post hole digger. Fortunately I found a good enough tutorial on YouTube. Post hole digger still won't run except for on starter fluid fumes though.

Main jet clogged on the carb. Or float has a hole in it

I cleaned the jet. Interesting about the float having a hole. How would that effect it from running though, by flooding it? How would I even check for a hole?

The float wouldn't lift the fuel intake needle (dont recall the technical term) if it was unable to float. The carb couldn't "detect" that it actually had fuel and would flood.

Remove float, put in a bucket of water with a weight to test. Let it sit for a while and ensure no liquid inside.
