Stuck float? Try tapping on the carb bowls with something to see it if will cure itself of this condition...

I'm assuming you are referring to the tee in the bottom circle of the attached picture. If so it's an overflow for carb bowl as far as I can tell. The other tee I circled is a vent.

Glad to hear you got the issue resolved. Tapping the floats rarely works, but I have gotten lucky with that trick in the past. Hey at least you got the satisfaction of fixing it yourself and you only had to invest time and not money ;)
