I would try the clear fuel line trick to check the float level, and confirm that it is not too high when the engine is running. This photo shows the level of my fuel when I had the float within the factory specs. (Weird looking thing behind the carb is the reflection of the carb in the chrome battery box).

And then I would pull the enrichment plunger out to make sure that it is seating properly and not got something stuck inside it.

Maybe you found some REALLY watered down gas. I've had a couple of tanks like that, but never quite as severe as your case. I'd consider draining the tank and refilling from a different station. Just my $0.02.
