Kohler Courage 19 hard starting

Hello all...

I am having an issue with trying to get a Kohler Courage 19 to start and was wondering if any of you out there can possibly point me in the right direction?

The battery is new and fully charged, and the carb was just cleaned and rebuilt.

Took the cover off, and the valve on the left was flopping around in the breeze.
Unfortunately, after adjusting it to specs (.005), and trying to start it...it is still trying to start the same way (no change)

Please see the video below to see my issue and note that the key was being held in the start position during the course of the video..

Thanks in advance!
