Ok...removed needle and found a small piece of loose black rubber on the plunger that was making it stick. I removed it and and cleaned the needle. I then reassembled it and set the float level. Turned on the electric pump and it held. Everything seemd fine.

I then went to start it and the starter just goes thunk.....like the engine is locked up. You can feel the engine trying to turn so it’s not the starter. It turned over fine yesterday on my return when I was trying to figure out the issue. I’ve also accounted for all my parts so no way something feel into the bowl and got into the engine.

Air cleaner nut - check
Air cleaner nut washer - check
Both needle assy gaskets - check
Needle adjustment nut and screw - check
Tools used - check

Cant imagine anything fell into the bowl unless I’m missing a part I’m unaware of but can’t imagine what else could make the engine lock up.
