Nope, I have the BS40 as an emergency standby (and another BS40 I bought for spare parts off eBay for $35 a long time ago) but I use the Amal full-time. Good. I was right, and I was confused.

Doubt it - if you did the Bobo383 mod - you only have the gas line going to the carb right? sans vacu line - so a float that is not closing the needle seems the only way it could happen in your case - now the why - worn needle, worn seat, improper float height, or a float that has a hole in it and doesn't float anymore - boy those are fun

Since you hijacked it, I'll comment.

No. The fuel line leads directly to the float needle valve. From there, gas goes to all other parts, including the ground, crankcase and airbox Tongue

I would like to thank Greg_650 and Reelthing for the help.

Yanked my carb for the...10th time, I think? I thought the slide needle was clean whenever I cleaned the carb last time.

Turns out, it's not supposed to be deep gold in color.

Polished it up really well, put it back in, and voila. After all the cleaning and tuning I did on the carb, Glen's running like a MF-ing CHAMP!

Yes, my bike's name is Glen.

Glen is better than Bobby, I suppose Glad he's fixed and running good now.
