110 float question

[Shaft1]

Got a new carb kit, put the new needle in but the float seems to be sitting to low. When I put the bowl back on, it just does not feel right the way the float is sitting inside. I really have to put pressure on the bowl to make it seal right on the carb. Please see pic below and notice the needle and the angle of the float (float arm is just touching the needle). Any thoughts? Pls advise.

Anybody??? I really need some help. I bought the new carb kit thinking the old needle was the wrong one but I'm back where I started from. I don't see how the float is able to move up and down inside the bowl --- seems very tight in there. What am I doing wrong here? I've worked on a bunch of old garden tractor carbs but this ATC got me scratching my head. I'm hoping its something really simple to get this to work. PLease help. thanks

It looks like you have the float installed upside down. Try flipping it over and see if your clearance issue goes away.

She's running now :lock::lock::lock:

Thank you all for all the help. Started right up after the 3rd or 4th pull. I can't believe how quiet it motor is. Shifts great, breaks good. Everything is awesome so far. Hopefully she stays running great for years to come.

Once again thank you for helping out the new guy.
