I bought this '28 3 years ago and it was restored back in 2005. I have some homework to do, but I'm chasing some backfiring out of the exhaust and occasional intermittent rough running. It also acted like it was fuel starved the last time it was out. I've done the research and read the different threads and know I can have an electrical issue. All that said, I am planning to take the carb apart to clean it. When is it time to just clean and adjust the float and when is it time for a full rebuild? How would I know? It's been nearly 20 years and who knows what the last guy did to it.
