I had a similar problem with a TR4. It was one of the float valves sticking closed. The easy cure is to tap the top of the float
chamber with the handle end of a screw driver.

Near as I can figure it was cause by minute partials of rust mixing with the lead substitute gumming up the valves if they dried out from sitting. The problem eventually cured itself just through driving a lot. I expect it finally flushed all the partials out.

If this is your problem my guess is that removing the top of the carb shakes it up enough to free the needle valve.
