Lloyd,
If you can get the float bowl off from the bottom, you can “usually” get by with using plain old starting ether to blast the guts of the carb out. Pay attention to the needle and seat and whatever gack is in the float bowl. A few times in the boonies, I have soaked the internals after removing the bowl with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench, an hour or so, and come back with ether. This is the quicky method, used when you are trying to get going, and, not always successful, but, worth a try. Don’t be tempted by the cheap little replacement carbs on Amazon or EBay, they seldom come through like a rebuild to the original. The ether is even more flammable than you remember, so, outside with no sources of open flame. Double check your oil, if you pulled on it enough with a stuck float and the choke closed, you might have a bunch of nasty fuel in the crankcase. This never ends well.
Good luck.
Best,
Ted
