Is this the bowl vent? If so, it looks fine.

Another thing I do when I'm trying to determine if I have an ignition or fuel problem and can't tell is to squirt some gas directly into the intake beyond the carb (with a little 2-cycle oil mixed in so you're less likely to have the oil washed off of the rings) and then try to start it. If it still doesn't want to start (you still might have to pull the choke) then you should be looking for an ignition problem instead.
I want to shelf this one for a bit if you don't mind. It's not like it won't start (at least warm) it's just that it doesn't seem to start right.
