Seems a stretch, and can't think what it would be.... or how to find it!
What about something simple, like a piece of flotsam in the gas tank blocking the sock and causing a loss of fuel pressure & drop in the bowls. Seem to recall someone here (jb?) having a problem that only popped up occasionally where the engine starved until shut down, and they found a piece of a brown paper shopping bag in the tank, and no idea how it got there? The paper would block the tank exit, covering the sock but still letting some fuel through, then when shut down would float away to come back another time.
Grasping at straws here. It's an interesting dilemma!
