Default BME 50 won't run.

The spark is not the problem here since tries to start when choked and runs for a short one second. The problem is it can't draw any fuel either because there is an air leak in the engine or carburetor or something blocking the fuel jet. I have bypassed my fuel system completely so that is not it. The best I can do is take my carb apart again but I really don't know where to look. This thing looks real clean inside. It really seems to me like a small speck of aluminum from the engine itself is blocking an orifice somewhere I just don't know where though. Any ideas where I can look. This really bites since it stopped raining now I can't go flying.
