Thank you for all the great suggestions. Today I took the carb to a man who has been repairing only carbs since 1953. Hopefully his 59 yrs of experience will solve the problem. He also suggested I do a fuel pressure check. He told me that the fuel pump can go bad and build enough pressure to force the needle and seat open. Any suggestions or info on fuel pressure or checking it? The venturi seems to seat well and is tight when the carb is assembled. The float is free when the carb is turned over and back. Both floats I have used were tested in water that was first brought to a boil. I did not tap the rubber tipped needle into the seat. Carb was dropped off before I read that suggestion. As for the compression check suggestion, is the thought that there may not be enough vacuum to draw the fuel into the cylinders? I will post what I find out so others will have it for future reference. Thanks again for all the help.
