Default Zenith carb float valve problem

This is a rebuilt Zenith carb. Float valve does not shut completely off. Valve has been replaced twice. Once with original style and second time with the ball style. Float level has be verified with the fuel level apparatus. I think the only issue left is that the float valve does not shut completely off as carb leaks out of the vent hole. Suggestions ? Thanks, Bill

If you have a cast iron sediment bulb, make sure it's spotless clean inside. It could be sending rust down the line.
