RE: flooding problem
It's possible that the high needle was vibrated open. There's no real reason for that to suddenly happen on an engine that had been well adjusted and working fine, but it has happened with several engine brands. next time you take the cowl off, watch the adjustment needles as the engine is run through the rpm range a few times to note if they move at all. Might want to make a paint mark on each one to make for easier sighting.
