Engine oil pressure opens the valve in the sediment bowl.
It wouldn't be the fist time either somebody spun the knurled nut down and clamped the valve shut. Or 50 plus years of rust & dirt plugged the sediment bowl screen. There is a filter in the carb too.
I assume by bowl you mean the sediment bowl's sight glass?
Is there any gasoline flow from the carb bowl drain valve if you hold the sediment bowl valve stem down?
As for rebuilding the two cylinder carb? It takes a seasoned pro or a carefull person reading detailed instructions while using the proper tools.
There are many tiny passages, hidden fuel ports etc. The float has to be set spot on too. Even a seaping carb bowl gasket will cause poor running. The carb bowl is referenced to the intake manifold pressure, not to atmosphere.
