See if you can poke a wire in there and get some fuel flowing.
I know you already got a carb on order, but find that darn hole and clear it just for the heck of it.
Yep...got it. Had the carb off night before last. Cleaned out the hole and it checked great on the my work bench. I put it back on the truck and it did start, but died after about 2 minutes. I looked down the throat as I pumped the throttle (with it on the truck) and no spray. Yet the bowl has fuel in it. I'm so done with this carb.
