Default carb stall

Hi All,


Need some help on this one. I have a Marvel carb on my car that has stalled out on me twice going around a curve. I am thinking that the float valve is sticking in the closed position somehow. After she sits for about a minute she fires right back up.


I have fuel in the throat that I can see and feel. The only thing that I can think of doing is enlarging the brass housing just enough so that the needle has a tad more slop in it and doesn't get cock eye in the housing. Sound reasonable?


Mike
