Hello,

Sounds like you have a bad float.  Did you check to see if the floats are
collecting fuel?  If you have the older brass floats, they will eventually
develop cracks and fill with fuel.  You cannot see the cracks at all
sometimes.  It happened to me 400 miles from home.  Luckily I was near Les's
shop to get replacements.
