Agreed, the fuel pressure gauge is an effective diagnostic tool but its effectiveness stops at the carburetor inlet. You could have good fuel pressure with a stuck float valve (or other internal carburetor malfunction) and still have a fuel related shutdown.
I'm rebuilding a 5 bolt carb for another forum member and the new needle valve body is sticking in the new seat. I did not install the small wire clip that attaches the needle to the float lever because none of my other carbs needed it but it's going back on so the dropping float pulls the valve open.
