my simplicity pro was running great last week, and now won't start. i cannot pull the starter rope unless i remove the spark plug. i took apart the carb bowl, removed the float and needle and sprayed with carb cleaner, re-assembled, no better. i squirted some gas in the cylinder, replaced the plug, no difference. it has electric start, i have popped the GFCI several times at the outlet. not sure what to do next!

Took the bowl off the carb, removed the float and needle, and for the first time I pulled the next piece out, a plastic disk like thing, blasted it good with carb cleaner, and I'm back in business. Just did 2 driveways, a foot of heavy snow, ran good. Thanks for the help! I'm a Happy boy.
