check that.

Dunno these carbs, but with SUs you'd tend to replace the valve and seat
complete - it just screwed in.

Does the valve and seat look OK under a magnifying glass? If not, and the
seat is part of the carb body, I'd be inclined to lap the valve to it.

Other thing is not enough lift from the float, or it sticking. But you
seem to have covered this. I assume you can't just by new ones?
