PD you say you checked the float, did you set it? The bikes you used to see on TV winning supercross races that were carbureted had theirs set before the event each time. So doing that to yours probably once in every 10 years might not be overkill. Sounds completely classic, and as I have stated before a very neglected part of a tuneup. For some reason people think those things stay where the factory put them.
I have seen people clean caburetors until they are "stony" from the fumes, and if you think about it, plugged jets cause your bike to run lean, and if yours is starting without the enrichenor circuit opened up, then yours is ANYTHING but LEAN.
