Thumbs up 1937 V860 carb issue (i think)

Hey guys,

Me ...again....

Thanks for everyones help. I'm less than 6 months in and the learning curve has been very steep. So, everything has been replaced or reconditioned and I just sorted the ignition coil issue and been putting some miles on the old girl driving her every day.

Now, she conked out on me yesterday with an almost full tank of gas. Here's the notes:

Got a nice big old spark at the plugs.
Engine start spray down the carb will start the engine then die even though I'm pushing the throttle flat to the floor.
Removing the gas line into the carb and turning the engine over I have gas pouring out the line, so the gas is getting to the carb under pressure (new fuel pump).
Tank was removed and boiled. New lines.
Carb has been reconditioned.
Been running really well 1000+miles to date.
The carb used to flood when turning it over for a while...not now.

Whats not working in this carb?
What do i do from here?

Again, always appreciate your help.

I did overfill the tank last week but don't know that should make any difference.
