Folks,
Thanks for the insight to my flooding/loss of power situation. 
Some further info I neglected to mention.
�gas tank removed and cleaned out by radiator guy(don't think it's crud
from tank)
�blockage under needle valve suggestion( wouldn't that cause the problem
at all speeds not just when I attempt to go over 3500 rpm?)
I'm fine under 3000, try going over and the problem hits as soon as I
exceed 3500.
�Grose jets screwed down tight(one gasket under each jet from kit)
  Is it that critical to get the 1/8" space under center of float?
�worn out float valve(seems fairly new to me but will replace with new
grose jet.
�no holes in float
�too high a pressure(stock new fuel pump for this year car, have had too
many glorious drives for this to start pumping out at a higher pressure,
but hey, it's an MG, who knows?)
Will keep trying your suggestions and report back,
Dave Houser
