Thats exactly what I have been thinking. I did enrich the carb 7 months ago by adjusting the accelerator pump and adding new springs. Yesterday I pulled the top of it off and did an inspection. The floats were not adjusted properly as far as I can tell and had some junk in the bottom of the float bowls. Proceeded to a clean out of the said areas and took it for a drive, same problem.

Makes me think somewhere in there the middle of the transitions has some junk in it also. Have yet to pull the valve covers, and do a complete clean out of the carb, that thing has gone 10 years with ethanol and held up, no corrosion inside so far.
