Hi Scott,
I've had this happen. Here's what to do:
Get a toothpick and cut off the sharp point so it doesn't get stuck in the jet. Get an exacto knife and redo the point so it is about the same angle as the jet (it doesn't have to be exact). Now dip it in toothpaste and rotate it back and forth in the hole. The end of the toothpick will take the form of the hole. When your done clean out the jet.( you can blow water in from the fuel line side to do this). To test your work refit the needle and float, turn the carb over so the needle is on the seat and blow into it through the fuel in line. you should get zero air passage. If you get even a tiny amount of air redo it.
