dixon 3302 with b&s 12 hp engine. model 283707, type 0118-02

first time this year, found water in carb bowl, then I did the

following; removed bowl from bottom of carb, took out needle valve cleaned with carb cleaner re-installed, replaced fuel

filter,drained tank

tried to start, would not run unless gas was poured into carb. removed carb and disassembled. cleaned with carb cleaner, blew thru all openings, when I removed carb the bowl was full and needle and float working. still have to pour gas or it will not run. engine stops as soon as I stop pouring gas

HELP!
