Needle gets stuck in the upward position in the carb. Removed it and cleaned the needle seat. Reassembled to the same problem took it back apart and the needle is stuck up again. Seems there is a small worn in edge on the needle which maybe be catching the needle seat. Both of these can be replaced with a rebuild kit. Seals for the rear end come Wednesday.

They can stick in the down position as well. If the carb was stored without gas, my preferred way, a film could still cause it to stick. It sounds like you are addressing this. Not sure how it can flood so badly if needle is holding closed at the Seat.
On your Carb, is the seat rubber or is the tip on the Needle rubber?
