If carb didn't flood or you didn't smell the raw gas, then I can only think of one possibility where it might have gone--slim as it is and just conjecture.

When stopped, the heat caused a pressure build up. The outlet valve of fuel pump is not sealing tightly but float bowl was full so carb valve tight with good seal. The pressure forced the gas back thru the outlet valve where it pushed the diaphragm against the spring with the excess. When cooler, spring overcame the pressure again and pushed gas back into the bowl. Anyway, my theory-thin as it is.
