We were in an accident and the kart went upside down. At the track we replaced the axle and FINISHED the day. I decided this week to take the carb apart and check float level. While I had the float out I stripped the carb of main jet, pilot jet, idle speed screw and air screw and put it into my ultra sonic cleaner with carb cleaner as I have done several times before. After cleaning I blew air through all orifices. I then put it back together and set float drop 1.060 and float height 0.860. It will not start. Pull the rope and choke it and fuel runs out the overflow. Took apart and cleaned again and rechecked to make sure the needle was not stuck or falling out too far. Put it back on with the same results. Took it off a 3rd time and replaced the float and needle with new. Same result. I then put the carb from my second engine on and it after checking float and it fired right up. I am at a loss. I have cleaned and set floats before but the fuel simply runs out the overflow when choking. Any help appreciated.
