For what it's worth:


Dismounted the carb, pulled it apart.   Tried blowing air through the
idle 
mixture screw passage in the iron base casting, no problems.   Again
tried 
blowing air through the matching passage which exits at the top of the 
potmetal casting, no luck, still blocked.   Picked up a can of carb 
cleaner, jammed the nozzle against the *bottom* end of the carb passage
and tried to shoot carb cleaner through it from the other direction, no
luck  at first, then with a "pop" the passage unclogged and a blast of
carb cleaner shot out of the top of the bowl where the passage loops
through the 
top cover.   I didn't find whatever it was which was plugging the carb 
passage  (it shot across the driveway) but it's suspect that a flake of
powder coat was the culprit.

Oh to be Atwood...   Good catch!!!!
