It could have the plastic one - which is pushed into place and has two O rings - or under a brass philips screw, same place.
i don’t think we’ve had a pic of this one yet.

Ok found it.
Taken carb off and removed / replace all its parts again. Float, needle etc.
Ive removed and sprayed it now with carb cleaner.
Awaiting some fibre washers for the 10mm bolt which holds float bowl in place then I will start it up.
This issue would say lack of fuel or blockage but I’ve had it apart twice now.
Is there anything else it could be ?
I can’t see it myself but clutching at straws now.

Just to confim, you spayed through the tiny hole in the end of the jet and spray came out if either if the larger side holes I always doulble make sure its clear with one of the small nozzle cleaners I posted a pic of the othe week
When you pulled the plastic jet out, did you squirt carb cleaner down the recess that was left, and how about the hole to the side of the carb venturi?
Make sure the jet is firmly pushed back in when you’re done.

I sprayed the black plastic part i pulled out & also through the brass item inserted in the bottom of it.
I then sprayed where it lives in the carb.
I also sprayed all the holes in the carb.
I can also blow through where the inlet fuel hose fits & can feel it coming out of the carb.
Removed main jet & cleaned also tapping the carb the brass tube that sits below jet came out & sprayed all the tiny holes as well/
If this mower runs ok on choke then the issue can only be tickover jet / slow running jet ?
Like i say screwing the black screw all the way in doesnt do much if anything.
I was thinking of maybe finding a longer screw to replace the black plastic one.

I wouldnt be confident that jet was clean unlessyou could see the the nozzle cleaner through cross holes, this vid seems to match your symptoms
The hole in that jet is only around 0.3mm , too small for most wire brush wires. As you seem to dabble in the resurrection if the dead it may be worth looking at some of this guys vids, this one is pertinent in part to yours.
