    Probably someone dropped the carb needle on the ground and blunted the point.  You will have to remedy that;  best with another needle.  Using that one can damage the seat inside the carburetor.  You will have a bad day.

    The other way that large amounts of fuel can get ingested by a motor   (and end up in the water)  is with a ruptured fuel pump diaphragm.  A symptom of that would be a primer bulb that noes not get hard.

    the blunt point needle is the  bottom HS needle  and normal isn’t … ?
