Carb Problems STILL

I'll bet you have some sediment in the tank that's working it's way down and holding the needle open now. May be worth cleaning the tank and the needle and seat after that again. That's what it sounds like to me now.
 
Well just shoot me... I did check the filter on the petcock and it was clean. Had to drain the tank, put new fuel in it.

I have the air cleaner off while I'm doing this. The needle is not sticking at all. I can raise it up and it falls right down.

The gas came spraying out like it was under pressure?

Wanna come over and help me shoot it???

You mention the gas came out like it was under pressure. That sounds like the gas cap isn't venting. Loosen it or remove it and try running the motor again.
