Briggs & Stratton one cylinder OHV Model 185432
Simpson Pressure Washer

Not used for 9 years.
Starts on first pull and runs as long as I keep spraying gas on the air filter.

Cleaned carburetor (blew with compressed air). Bowl was clean, carb seems spotless. Does not seem to be anything to take apart on this one-piece casting except for what seems to be an air jet accessible from the top.

Any ideas on what might be going on? Carb bowl always full. Needle float valve seems to be in very good condition.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

The main jet in the bottom of the carb is plugged. 99.99%
