Hi Steve,
Check your fuel height ie: the float setting could be too high.
To
check if the float has a hole give it a shake first and see if you can here anything, then immerse it in hot water and see if there are any bubbles.
Make sure that the needle of the needle &
seat has not worn a dent in the adjusting tab as sometimes this can cause sticking.
If its a Viton tipped needle these can cause problems sometimes, get a new one.
Check that the float is not rubbing against any thing in its travel up & down
Check the pivot of the float to make sure that there is not too much sideways movement.
Last of all
check your fuel pressure.
Cheers Aston
