Carb question

I'm having an issue with the carb on my M43. I had my carb rebuilt by a guy who has done many with no problems. When I put It on my truck the truck starts right up and runs for about twenty minutes then floods out. It happens when I just let the engine idle or if I'm driving it. I got another core and had it rebuilt and the same thing happens. I tried switching to an electric pump and even tried a 12 volt pump run off my inverter. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm at the end of my limited knowledge curve. Any ideas?

Thanks, Jim.

Possibly you are getting small particles in the fuel supply that are getting stuck under the float needle, holding it open, causing the flood. Try adding an inline filter right before the carb.
