T9.9 2012 starts, stalls

The carb on my 2012 t9.9 outboard seems to have an issue. This is a remote, electric start. I have tested fuel lines up as far as the carb, and replaced the tank hose and connections. After several weeks of not being run, it would not start. I removed and cleaned the carb, which had a lot of crystals inside. A passerby suggested these were from using ethanol gas. After cleaning and reinstalling the carb, it will fire, run for a few seconds, then die. I'm still suspecting the carb.

One more thing: on the back of the carb, ie the side facing the power head, there is a small threaded hole, next to the choke lever. I cannot find a clear picture of it on the parts diagrams, and wonder if there was a screw in there that I lost when cleaning the carb. I'm obviously not a mechanic! Any help would be appreciated.
