Kevin, I think you may also have a bad needle and seat. This is the valve that keeps fuel from flowing when the float moves up. Many times the needle can become dry and crack, allowing fuel to flow through even though the float is rising. Another problem, that I have seen a couple of times is a cracked bowl or top....a very microscopic crack can leak fuel and it will drive you nuts....Anyway, I would go to your local IH dealer and pick you up a carburetor kit, put in a new needle and seat, and while you have it apart, place the float into a container of gasoline and see what happens, if it floats, then great. Re-assemble the carb and install it...I hope this helps, hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Let me know if I can be of further assistance, Jared Jeffries
