That brass disk with the hole in the center is the filter button retainer. You should be able to pry it out with little effort. Then stuff a piece of felt, fine steel wool, fiberglass insulation or similar into the opening and press the brass disk back in. You should be set for another 50 years or so!
Running out of gas could indeed cause the float needle to not work properly. Could be a bit of junk got brought into the caburetor from the bottom of the tank along with the last few drops of gas. Or the float dropping lower than normal in the bowl as the gas was used up may have caused it to stick, or the needle to become cocked and seat itself improperly. When that happens sometimes a couple light raps on the float bowl with the wood hammer handle will get it working right again.
