I'd bench test it while it's off. Rig up something to fill and drain it to see if the float is sticking. Maybe you can use your vinegar to avoid soaking the area with gas. I've done this with small engine carbs many times it beats tearing it down again and takes almost no time

I was going to do that but I don't think it's necessary... it's pretty obvious it's sticking. Strange thing is I cleaned it out real well not too long ago when I was playing with the jetting again.

I'd bench it because it's not guaranteed to not stick with a new needle or your vinegar douching. Just trying to save you some time! I've rebuilt a lot of carbs on various things, new doesn't always equal fixed!

The top bolt was loose and he probably had one of those heavy "Live to Ride" medallions hanging on the a/c cover?
