Most of the seats I’ve seen have a sharp edge rather than a taper because the needle has the taper. Try this,–with the float removed and the needle in the seat, make sure the needle is straight in the seat and give it a light tap with a very small hammer. I’ve done that several times with continued success. I assume in saying this the needle is stainless and the seat brass?
