The backup carb is Moyer rebuild. A guy bought it as a spare and it sat for several years, still in the box. It worked great until the intake valves stuck open and loaded it with a tarry crud. I cleaned it (again) and it is back on now and working great.

My original confusion still exists though. If the float valve is the culprit, can it allow enough fuel to go by to fill the throat of the carburetor?
Yes it can!
