Get a can of carburetor cleaner. Drain the gas. Mix small quantity of fresh gas & carb cleaner about 50/50. Run a little through (it might not start, but crank it enough to get some solution through the carb.) If it runs, that's great, run about half of your solution then turn it off for an hour. Then run the rest through. If it won't start, then after the hour add a bit of fresh gas to make the remaining solution about 90% gas and run this through
By the way, running the carb cleaner through the air intake will not fix this problem, because the gumming of gas is in the fuel line, float valve, needle valve - not in the air stream. Running carb cleaner through the air intake is useful if the throttle is sticking..
Good luck,

It's almost certainly gummed up gas in the carburetor. Get some carb cleaner, and some spray instant start. Drain the gas from the tank and put a small amount of 50/50 carb cleaner and gas in the tank. Remove the air cleaner, open the choke, spray a little instant start into the carb and start it. It may fire just a couple of time. Keep the choke on to try to pull a bit of gas through the carb. You may have to do this a few times. Once you can tell some gas is flowing, open the choke slowly to keep it running until you use up the 50/50 mix. Then try a small amount of straight gas in the tank to be sure it works right, before you refill the tank. Make sure you use a stabilizing additive in any gas that you store for more than a month.
good luck,

your main jet is plugged shut off fuel, remove bowl from carb(bottom of bowl) clean out small holes on screw with stranded wire .2 holes on side on in middle. be sure to put fiber washer back between main jet and bowl and use fresh gas jor
if you are running the engine at full CHOKE, then it is flooding the engine, but if you meant off full choke, then the carb is still stopped up. Try soaking in carb cleaner overnight after removing jet & all rubber goods. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Not sure about the "extra jet" on te side of the carb without a specific model, but running smoothly with half choke indicates that your mixture is lean. Choking it richens the mixture.
The extra jet may be your idle stop, or it could be the idle mixture adjustment.
Drain the gas out of it. If there is a fuel filter, replace it. Get some carburetor cleaner and put a little of that plus a little fresh gas in the tank and run it through. Do that a couple of times until it will run without the choke. If that doesn't work you will have to disassemble the carb to clean it. Use a gas additive like Sea Foam to keep the gas usable longer without gumming up. If you are going to leave it unused for a month or more, run the gas out of it.
A fuel starvation problem. Pull the fuel line off the carb..........the flow should be strong from the tank. If not check for a blocked filter or fuel switch not allowing full flow. If you do have a good fuel flow.......the restriction is in the carb.......a good cleaning will be next. Usually it is the main jet that is semi clogged from storing the engine with out shutting off the fuel and running the carb dry. After cleaning make sure all fuel in the tank is fresh.

how old was the fuel in the tank and carb bowl? This could have built up varnish and make the float heavier
Another issue that my customers bring in are 4 stroke generators that have 2 stroke fuel put in tank.
