Any chance you have a stone filter at the carb inlet? If you do, take it out.

No its an exterior screen filter that attatches to the end of fuel line and screws into the carb

You might look behind that threaded fuel fitting and see if a brass screen or stone filter is attached to it.Float stuck shut in the carb.

As said, IF, you have a carb with a stone filter, it will be located behind the fitting, but not all carbs have them. Not too many things can cause the fuel to quit running through your carb, and one of the things could be a frozen float, but it could also be that some debris got into a pasage and blocked it. Try tapping on the float bowl and see if it wont free the float. You may need to pull the carb and go through it.
