The float may be too heavy after your reapirs to float properly, or it may be bent, causing it to catch on the float bowl, or the tang on the float that presses "UP" on the needle may be bent, causing the needle to be jammed against the side of it's bore, rather than rising and closing off the flow of fuel.

If you are holding the carb, and flip it upside down, does the weight of the float hold the needle closed, so you cannot blow into the carburetor inlet (by mouth)?

New floats are less than $10.00, and available from many sources, including this website. If your's is heavy or bent, it may be worth trying a new one.
