Just wanted to circle back with results after several tests.....

I sprayed carb cleaner directly into the air intake on the carburetor and again
attempted to start but only ran for a few seconds.

Removed bolt in the bowl and gasoline found that gas was flowing into the bowl.

Again sprayed carb cleaner directly into spark-plug cylinder then screwing in spark plug. Attempted to start, but engine ran for only a few seconds.

Removed air filter to expose Carb, exposing the float, which appears to be working fine, not sticking, and moving up & down as it should.

I then sprayed all the ports in the carb I could reach w/o actually removing the carb.you can find. Attempted to start, but engine ran for only a few seconds.

Next step will be to actually remove the carb, and put the entire carb in a can filled with SeaFoam and let sit overnight, then use a small wire to clean every hole in the carb, and maybe remove the jets.

Would like to hear additional feedback from Forum.
