drove the caddy 41 60 special with Stromberg carb. went up steep drive way and it flooded out. would not crank till I tapped on carb. several times with wood piece and then started and ran fine. had run fine before this. I'm assuming the float was hung up. any one with any ideas ? is this common on this carb ? thanks john

Could be one of two things. Either the float needle was not seating properly or more likely the two floats are not centred properly on their bowls. They only need to be a little off and will scrape and jam on the side of the bowl.
The up hill angle may have made them move to a position that they hadn't reached before. Check that they will sit to the bottom of the bowls without touching the walls anywhere.
