Yep your float has a crack in it. Easy way to test after & if you solder it is broil ,or get it pretty hot, some water & submerge the float & watch for bubbles. Make sure you empty the fluid out first & if you get too much solder on it you will have to set the float level by guessing & adjusting . More float weight = it will set lower in the bowl & the fuel level will be too high.
