Have you checked the fuel flow? Just quickly disconnect the fuel and vacuum lines (placing the fuel line's end into a jar) and suck on the vacuum line.

A steady stream of fuel should come out, otherwise you have a problem with a clogged fuel filter or crotchety petcock.

Clean carb again check float operation.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
