Friday evening my old tiller was starving for fuel, so I took the carb off to give it a good cleaning. Had all the loose parts off and safely containered, since I'm so bad at losing things, and I picked up the blow gun and shot a blast of air into the fuel inlet.

It was the needle - the little wire that goes under the float tab had hooked on the lace and was right there with me all the time. There's proof that the Lord looks out for fools and little children. I'm just glad there were no witnesses.
