Too high? Now that's a new one. Please explain.

------------------
Just recently my hangar neighbor was having trouble with his RV with, I
guess, a Lycoming - his engine would die on final approach.  This happened 2
- 3 times before he finally figured out the float in the carburetor had
leaked; and the fuel level in the bowl was too high.  It ran fine when he
started up cold, took off and was flying (probably running a bit rich).
When he pulled power on short final it would get too rich and die.

I recall a similar behavior with a car many, many years ago.

Maybe not relevant to your case; but seemed to fit.
