When I pump the primer ball the fuel runs out of the carbs and the ball never gets hard. Also when running at around 2500 rpm the motor loses power and starts running at an idle. When I decelerate and accelerate again the motor will run good for a short period of time and then lose power again. Starts good and runs good at idle but loses power when getting up to speed. Any suggestions?

carb float not closing, if motor is tilted up, the carb will be out of level, and not seal also.
