I dont know if this would be it or not but I could have overlooked it easily... one of the support arms on the float is cracked in half

This 2-year-old thread was resolved... years ago. And the issue was a combination of our EPA lean-carb requirements, coupled with a guy who was still learning to turn wrenches on outboards. That is why.
