It seems over the last year that my car starts fine when it's cold, but once it has been running it seems flooded. Need to push the pedal to the floor to start and it belches black smoke.

Now, it smells like gas when it's cold (have found no fuel anywhere) and it acts as it is flooded, again having to hold the pedal to the floor.

Runs fine once it's started although the idle seems to stay high (not sure if this is related)

I assume the problem in with the floats or float level?

Any suggeations are appreciated.

Check the power valve to make sure it isn't blown and look at the needle and seat. It doesn't take much debris to have a needle valve leak and flood the carb.
