Have you even checked to make sure gas is gettin out of your tank?? i think i would pull the fuel line off and check that first before i go takin the carb apart. There is no reason gas shouldnt be gettin to your carb bowl.

Which screw are you taking out, try taking the big 17MM plug nut off the bottom to be 100% sure there is no gas in the carb. If there still aint any gas then take a small hammer or ratchet and knock on the side of the carb. The float could be stuck.....just tryin the first simple stuff to keep you from pulling the carb off if it ain needed.

its a pretty good size hole. i dont see it gettin plugged up because your take has a fine filter on the petcock. But you never know, possibly run some wire down through it and blow some air pressure through it. Then you will want to take your bowl back off though because if there is any dirt in there thats where it will go.
