    As a second thought, the float could be catching on the gasket, if the drop is set too low. See the tab on the float arm, the one that hits the casting for the needle/seat? That can be adjusted, to give you proper float drop.

    If that tab is sticking up in mid air, the float is upside down.

    EDIT: Is the float original? If so did you coat it? Test it in a bucket to ensure it actually floats?
