while engine running, have someone hold rpm
s at about 3k, while you spray soem carbd cleaner down the barrels. better yet, pour some MMO while the engines not on, then start her up. if that does nothing, your floats could be sticking

Might not be the floats. Might be the needle and seats leaking through. Either way you'll have to tear it down to find out.
