Did you perform a "float drop" adjustment? It prevents the float from dropping too far down when fuel is low. here
Pull the bowl off and see why it's sticking. Could just be a lot of sticky crud at the bottom. Sounds pretty simple.

If you want reliability on the water, then get a carb kit WITH new float and clean/rebuild the carb. Otherwise, you're just asking for repeated problems.
One of the signs that the carburetor float is sticking is when the engine will not idle. The float is not letting enough fuel into the reservoir, allowing for a constant idle of the engine. The carburetor float is stuck in the closed position, and only a small amount of fuel is seeping into the reservoir. more
A flooded carburetor is another symptom that the carburetor float is sticking. The float is stuck in the open position, allowing fuel to run freely into the reservoir and then into the intake manifold. Once too much fuel is allowed into the carburetor reservoir, the carburetor floods and cannot be started until all the fuel is expelled from the reservoir. here
The engine will begin to stall or hesitate when the carburetor float sticks. This symptom develops under driving conditions when the operator attempts to accelerate. The engine will act as though is it going to die, but catches and begins to accelerate normally. The hesitation of the engine is a similar event.
The float in the carburetor regulates the amount of fuel or gasoline which resides in the reservoir. The reservoir of the carburetor is where the fuel is sucked into the intake manifold. A bad or sticking carburetor float causes engine problems. Watch for certain signs and symptoms if you suspect the carburetor float is sticking. [links]
There are a number of tools designed specifically for carburetor cleaning. Some tools look like little boxes which contain spring-loaded pins of different sizes. These fold back into the box and the lid protects them. [links]
First, the fuel line must be disconnected from the carburetor. You will also need to disassemble the carburetor in order to be able to clean the entire device freely.
All of the jets and ports should be clean through thoroughly to ensure good fuel and air flow. One way to achieve this is to use an air compressor and forcefully expel any left over dirt from the jets and intakes. Don’t substitute with other equipment. If you do not have the correct cleaning tool, always try to purchase one instead of rigging up an alternative. You could end up damaging the calibration of the carburetor.
As all carburetors vary in shape, size and design, it is easier to check the user manual or maintenance manual for your particular car to find out exactly how to do this. Once you have taken the carburetor apart, use a good cleaning solution to totally rejuvenate the device parts. This will clean off old fuel, dirt and any grit that may have crept in during use.
