It needs cleaned, so I'd pull it apart. It may be just the needle stuck, but I was thinking you had already shook it enough to rattle it loose. If you don't have a bowl drain to test it with, pop the bowl off and have a look see. The carb throat itself usually doesn't correlate with bowl gunkage at all.
Something most don't think about is that the fuel shut off almost always leaks slowly, so gas drivels slooooowly into the bowl and get evaporated up through the various passages into the intake manifold. It makes a mess after a while. I have seen main jets plugged solid after only 4 months when parked out side in a hot region.
Yes you can spray brake cleaner into the intake and make it run. The spray puts out more than you need so I prime it with a short shot and then add bursts as it takes off. With practice you can keep them running for minutes.
