I can manually fill the bowl through the sight screw and is runs until the gas is gone, then stops. At first I thought the float was stuck so I took the carb apart and this part fell out of the bowl when I opened it. I don't recognize it and I don't know if it belongs in there. It is plastic, but I don't see anything like it in the rebuild kit or the diagram. the float moves freely so it's not the float. Ant ideas as to what it is and where it goes and what it does?

I would pull the needle seat assy, chances are some crap has gotten into the seat, perhaps fine rust particles, just enough to hold the seat closed and not allow the bowl to fill...seats either get stuck open allowing flood conditions or seized close causing fuel starvation
