Yea, you shoulda at least pulled the bowl, now, whatever concentrated crap from the evaporated gas has been pulled in.. You did put the petcock on prime, right? If you did, get a container & a phillips & drain the bowl, looki at how much & what kinda garbage comes out.Gas today leaves a super Stanky green liquid when it evaporates. IDK how long that stuff sits till it it turns into shellac. Dont even try to fire it up till youve done at least a bowl cleaning, & you can pull the main jet easily. Dont lose the washer, Make sure you dont use a tired old screwdriver on the pilot. How it fits that slot is important, let it slip a couple of times & it may get almost impossible to remove the pilot. Mite be better off pulling the carb if it isnt cooperative. Id see how it goes, & Id put the bowl back onwith a clean main in it, & give it a whirl, If you didnt put it on prime,GOOD,, pull the bowl & go from there.
A can of starting spray is handy.
