I I would try to remove the high speed nozzle for cleaning. Let it soak for awhile with liquid wrench , then warm it up a little. find (or make) a screwdriver that fits the slot closely and wiggle it back and forth gently ’till it breaks free. That brass is pretty soft .
That float looks good. Did you adjust the height at all ?, your homemade boss gasket looks ok too . The bowl gasket could use replacing, but probably is fine unless attacked by ethanol .
I used to have a cheapo harbour freight ultrasonic cleaner that I used to clean carbs, but it failed eventually, and hasn’t been replaced. It worked pretty good for a while.
