I took the carb off and removed the top to access the float. Everything looked CLEAN float valve was working properly. The guy said they always drained the carb and I tend to believe him. I have NEVER tore into an older motor like this and seen zero varnish of any kind. The float looked like it just came out of a package. Not a single trace of debris in the float bowl. I’m hoping my problem is just the gas tank or primer bulb. I have a new head and gasket coming for the stripped threads and gasket for the tank. I’m hoping it works out

It's a jungle out there.
