The short story
Customer could not start motor due to carb flooding issue, Swapped carb, changed fuel sep, needed some fuel to prime the bowl and poured some fuel from the sep in a clean container. primed and started motor .Carb inspection showed a black, sandy looking substance, that was the cause of the stuck needle.
came back 10 minutes later and found this in the bottle. It was clean 97 octane 10 minutes ago remember.

Ended up pumping the tank clean, replacing the new sep just in case.

Just seems to be a lot of bad gas out there as of late.
