I seem to remember that I did take the air hose to the carb intake so----collapsed float mystery is solved.
I replaced the float and put the carb back on with the same flooding issue. However, I pulled it apart again and adjusted the float level, but now I think I went too far because it runs just about long enough to use the fuel in the bowl before it quits.

I backed the idle adjust screw all the way out and made sure the choke and throttle and governor linkages were back against the stops and fired it up again. This time it ran a little fast, but not excessive, so I was able to adjust the carb screws to idle it down. When I gave it some throttle however it died, possibly at the point where the gas was used up in the bowl. I will go back into the the carb and re-adjust the float after the Memorial Day Holiday then report back.
