Possible bits of dead hose or even small bugs found their way into the small passages of the carb. Or for that matter, bits of dying float.

If your $10 float doesn't work, there may be a Sea King forum where you can research carb replacements. After spending $30+ dollars for parts and several hours on an old carb on an ATV and not making things much better, found a $20 made in China replacement carb on Amazon. Runs and starts much better.
