Trying to remember the old float level trick I used on Tecumseh carbs...don't hold me to it, but IIRC, a 5/16" drill bit should just fit between the top of the float and the flange the bowl fits into. A handy feeler gauge. Damn, I did it hundreds of times when I sold/worked on Toro mowers...but that was decades ago, and damned if I can remember the drill bit size. I agree with Milt & Vinman here...check that main jet. Going richer may also be wise, if you're running gasahol in your area. Alcohol in the fuel demands richer mix...
