Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
Carbs all have some minimal derbis in the float bowl. When an engine runs out of gas the float bowl cavitates and the debris that was just fine in the bottom of the float bowl is drawn into the main fuel jet located in the threaded area of the bowl nut. Remove the float bowl nut and bowl. Use carb cleaner to remove the debris from the main fuel jet orifice in the threaded area of the carb body.
(If the carb cleaner does not free the debris from the main fuel jet is can be unscrewed and removed for cleaning. Just make sure the screwdriver is a good fit to the brass slots of the orifice or you will never get it out.)
Make sure to clean out the float bowl and nut before re-assembly. This should get you going pretty quickly.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
