Forced to remove my float bowl cover to get a wrench on the starboard carb mount bolts (damn! another shroud, or at least an impedance), there, in the top float bowl I believe found the culprit - a sunken float.

That'll do it.

Another question - is there a tool that will remove the starboard mounting carb bolts with out removing the float bowl cap...?

Yes, there is. It's an "thin-wall crows foot tubing wrench" socket wrench. I used to have a set of SAE sizes from Snap-On. 6 sockets cost me over $150 25 years ago. But the bad news is that you then have to remove all the fuel lines to use it properly because of the offset. Removing the float bowl cap is easier and faster.
