    Is this float correct?

    Your float is installed upside down.

    The tab, for setting float drop, should be pointing towards the body of the carb. The cutouts in the float should face upwards, away from the fuel in the bowl. The way it is in your photo, the float won’t have enough buoyancy to close the float valve and the motor will flood.
