51 Jubilee starts and runs great. As soon as I start going up hill, it dies out. When back to level, starts up and runs great again. I can back up going up hill and it's fine but when moving forward and start up hill, it dies. I removed the carb (new) and checked float and needle valve. Any ideas?

Does this happen even with the tank full?
There is a stand pipe that doesn't allow the last couple inches to be used unless it is on reserve, and the reserve may be clogged if it hasn't been used in a while.
Fuel tank levels can be deceiving, often there is less in there than it appears.

The NAA/Jubilee fuel tank draws from the rear of the tank and is gravity fed. Old has given you a good place to start. If you dont
have good/any fuel flow, check the carb inlet elbow which should have a screen , the screen inside the top of your sediment bowl,
and inside the tank . I am betting unless you are really low on gas in the tank you have dirt/rust in the tank that flows back to
the fuel tap when going uphill and restricts your fuel. You may need to clean the tank or if it is real rusty inside replace it .
Another solution to this problem is making a higher standpipe inside the tank to get above the dirt/rust ,after you clean it as
best you can.

Checked gas at bowl drain after stalling, looked like maybe not getting enough gas.
After checking everything else, I removed the carb (for the fourth time) and removed the float and replaced it with one from the old carb. It seems to be working. I had adjusted the float (1/4 inch from gasket) twice but for some reason, it looks like it was the float all along. Don't really understand why, but I'll take it.
Thanks everyone !
