I have done on certain models just remove the bowl ( if Honda design carburetor without drain plug) sprayed the float and needle areas sprayed bowl and cleaned. Lubed the o-ring that seals the bowl and that worked. Usually gumout down the carburetor does it. On some models carburetor bowl has drain plug, on them I just removed the drain plug, let it drain, then spray up through the drain hole using the red nozzle, let the carb cleaner drain. That usually works also, as long as you got fresh gas in tank. Still have to prime carburetor till bowl fills up and it take off on its own.
