A buddy stopped over at the shop yesterday with a small engine carb. Wouldn't flow any gas.
Upon closer inspection the needle on the float valve was stuck firmly in the seat. Air pressure on the inlet wouldn't pop it out. Had to soak it, then tug on it with a pliers to get it out.
The entire inside of the brass seat was green with corrosion, and locked the needle in place.
Got it clean and working.
Thanks ethanol!
