It needs cleaned, so I'd pull it apart. It may be just the needle stuck, but I was thinking you had already shook it enough to rattle it loose. If you don't have a bowl drain to test it with, pop the bowl off and have a look see. The carb throat itself usually doesn't correlate with bowl gunkage at all.
