GX340 replacement carb

Howdy, noob here - I have a question please....
 
I've an old GX340  honda on a pressure washer and just tried to fire it up after 9 months of sitting(non-ethanol gas) and it fired up as it always does but then died several times off n on which it has not ever done since the replacement carb years back
 
seems to be fuel related, drained the tank of the new fuel, drained the float bowl, added new non ethanol fresh fuel and still would not run more than a few seconds each time. 
 
I replaced the carb probly 6 years or more ago with one i found on ebay i think for like 40 bucks? The rebuild kit was more than twice that so i bought the cheapo carb and it's worked fine till now so I figure it's a disposable carb like most everything else nowadays.
 
Does anybody have a tip on what carb replacement I should buy, possibly a link would be way cool
 
It is a GX340

    Any reason why you can't clean it?  Their pretty simple and just looking at the parts diagram
    show's what's what...  Remove the bowl, the main jet straight down the housing, then pop 
    out the main nozzle which is under the main jet.  All orifices MUST be spotless.
     
     
    IE https://www.hondapartsnation.com/oemparts/a/hen/50953fb5f870021cd0412db9/carburetor-1
     
    With that said, should you not want to do that, find your engine and buy a new OEM carb.
    Most OEM Honda carbs are under $40.00....
     
    You may. want to check for flow at the carb from the tank.  There's often a filter at the tank, inside the fuel line that can clog.
