Stan, that looks like the carb bowl I was thinking about. If so, there is no way to run a wire through the idle circuit on that carb and there is a great chance it is plugged up. The circuit takes a 90 degree turn in the fuel bowl.
The only way to clean that circuit is to either let the bowl sit in cleaner for ??? until it is clean or drill the lead shot out of the other side with a 1/16" bit and let the bit cross the nozzle well and clean out the passageway on the other side.
Pull your bowl again and see if it is plugged there. Won’t take long on a 2hp.
Also interested in the answer to Fleetwin’s question.
