Turns out it was a nice piece of rubber that somehow got into the float and wasn't allowing it to seat. I took off the carb to look at it and thought I saw something weird so I took off the gasket.

I always wondered why I lost so much power over the last few years... thought it was my new tranny and wheels... guess not :)
