Josh, that is where fuel is supposed to shoot out of. That is the emulsion tube and below that is the main fuel jet.
So just reading only wheat you said, it looks like you are really messing with a few things, when the problem is that its a tecumseh. You cant fix that problem, BUT i have worked on a few of those same engines.
1) remove the nut that holds the bowl onto the carburetor you will see a very small hole in the threads of the nut, that is your idle pilot circuit, and it is probably gummed up.
2) remove WELSH plugs from the carb and clean out any air bleeds and whatnot.
3) make sure you really research these carbs and adjustments could be off, preventing it from starting.
To rule you messing up the valve lash and all that other stuff out, just take that carb off, and spray a bit of carb cleaner or starter fluid in that intake manifold. Pull hard 2-3x and it will rev and die within a few seconds. If this happens, you have a fuel problem. And the carb will really need adjustment, and WELSH plug replacement, because thats how you clean a tecumseh carb. friggin have to take out the **** welsh plug just to be able to clean it. if you want, you can buy this stuff at walmart, it is called "mechanic in a bottle" dont add it to your gas, just friggin let that carb sit in the concentrated stuff. IT will break down a lot of the buildup and crud in those carbs.
If you really hate tecumseh carbs, you can just get a pz22 carb copy on ebay for $13 It will literally bolt straight up to the intake manifold on that and man its a sweet little slide carb. Governor will probably grenade inside.
Also, did i mention that the camshaft in that engine is made ENTIRELY OF PLASTIC?! Fun fact. Tecumseh engines suck. Just my honest opinion here.
