    Sometimes the float valve will need to "seat" to function properly. Sometimes a gentle "rap" on the fuel bowl with a screwdriver handle will do to help.

    Before removing the carbs again, you may want to remove just the bowl and manually move the floats up and down a few times if the "rap" method didn't work.

    hope this helps
