Finn,
Running Carburetors if the float level is too high, and therefore the fuel level too low, it can prevent the vacuum from raising the fuel enough to keep the engine running. This is less common than the FUEL level being too HIGH which will cause the engine to go rich when the throttle is closed. I see the rich condition far more often.

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