Best to have the carb screwed down tight onto the motor for cap removal. They can be tight. This is the tool I made from stainless steel which was handy and strong. Keep sharp edges on it for grip. A notch may have to be filed to provide clearance for the center peg that sticks up and for the greatest grip. I made it shallow to clear the coil.
Mine is similar to Harry’s. Also stainless steel.
On tight ones or on ones that are chewed up
I clamp my tool into a vice. Then I can push
the mixer into the tool hoping the tool will
stay in the slot till I can get the cap to break
loose.
If they are so bad that wont work I clamp the
cap in the side of the vice and twist the mixer
to break them free. The jaws of the vice must
be straight and square for this to work or the
cap will slip out. Brass or aluminum jaws
prefer but if there really chewed up it really
doesn’t make that much difference.

That could be an issue if they are leaking.
Could explain your flooding issue as well
as your running issue.
Try lapping them with something not too
aggressive like toothpaste and see if you can
get a seal all the way around. Then see if you
can get it to run. In any case you should
(I would) be looking for another mixer.

“I overpaid for a different carb online so I can take two to make one good one?”
You didn’t buy a complete carburetor?
The fuel passes through those holes. If they are blocked how was it flooding?
