Roman,
What is the condition of those small rubber lines from the bottom of the
fuel bowl to the carbs? You might have leaks there, just enough to reduce
pressure on the floats and prevent the valve needle from closing.

address answers to the list not just myself, ok?Then again maybe I am the
only one this happens to. OK, here we go, SUs have a mind of their own!!Mine
decide to pour out gas whenever they feel like it!!! usually at the worst
times (like when the tank is close to empty)If you need proof of the
existance of Murphy's law, just look at my carbs.Without warning the Jet,
stops working. instead of shutting of the fuel supply it keeps on pumping.
My floats are not sinkers.When this happens I take the cover off, play with
the jet a bit, screw it back together and it is ok for a while.it is not
dirt, I have cleaned them numerous timesIt just stops working!!!I have the
stock Jets. Why the heck does this do that, and is there a jet that is
trouble free???Thanks,Roman70 roadster 4mpg city/ 7mpg highway
