I dunked the carb in that carb cleaner can which is sold at auto parts stores.
It was running fine last year. Now, it is dead.

How did you clean this carb?
How's it running now?
I got a tip on this site about getting the carb out from between the air filter housing and the manifold elbow:
Stick a screwdriver into the filter element bracket and spring the plastic housing and foam gasket away from the carb.
I backed out one of the screws that hold the housing in place and loosened another. Took a couple tries to get the screwdriver that pried best, but the carb came out and went back SO easily. Didn't take much, just enough to clear the choke plate. The way the carb's laid out, the choke and throttle won't both close. One sticks out making it hard to slip out and back in.
