Sounds like what happens when I forget to push my choke in after it's plenty warm and try to rip on her. Believe it or not, Seafoam has fixed many of fuel/fuel line problems in many bikes and/or cagers for me.
Have you tried cleaning the fuel filter at all? Does your bike have one? Can't recall.
Could have a plugged bowl, vent or overflow. This phuckin ethanol hates carbs!
