	I had this problem also.  The first cause was a bad needle valve in a 
carb kit (like everyone else).  However, I also had reassembled the 
floats incorrectly.  On Solexs, the float pivot pin needs to go on top 
of the copper "clip" spring thing in the slot.  In other words, the 
pivot wasn't as close to the valve as it should be so it never shut off.
