84 720 float issue

[SOUN1]

The truck start's up, runs a while then die due to no fuel. I tracked it down to the float bowl.. it's not letting new fuel in.. I let the truck sit about 10 minutes, then the fuel is refilled.. any one had this issue? solutions?
I'm thinking there maybe a hole on the float the prevent it to rise and let new fuel in.. Your thoughts??

If the float was "sunk" you'd be flooding, not getting insufficient fuel. Needles can stick in the up position from crud or varnish, so that's a possibility but you'll need to open the bowl to find out. A clogged fuel filter will also behave that way on a vehicle with an electric pump, because most pumps have an anti-siphon valve which traps the head pressure. That keeps fuel "bleeding" through the clogged filter after the engine shuts down, so the bowl gradually refills. Some filters have anti-siphon valves as well and will cause strange fuel problems if installed backwards.
