Rebuild my 17056200 with one of "Cliffs" kits and have been running it for roughly three years. I used cliff's third recipe in his book. It is on a SB355. For the most part, it has been a good runner. It is now starting to flood and stall the engine after a hard run. It will start up after turning over the engine and the pedal to the floor. If I made a hard stop for a traffic light that turned red, it will load up and feel like it is going to stall.
Wondering if this could be the float getting saturated and sinking? Is a three year life normal now for a float with today's fuels. I checked my float level and set it to the factory spec's. As far as I could tell, everything else looked OK. Also, stock style fuel pump with no regulator.
I would replace the needle and seat as well if I were to replace the float.
Thanks in advance.
Phil
