Have you checked fuel pressure to the carb. If there is to much pressure it can cause the problem.

I don't see how it could happen, but it sure sounds like it has some kind of effect. So, why don't you just check the vent? Also check the hose and make sure there isn't a low spot in it that could hold fuel an block the vent.
I've seen mud dauber wasps plug vents with their nests.

Being that there different brands and the diameter changed (got larger) also, it's very possible.
