Answer
Ray
One of the reasons might be is the float wont open,when you took it apart did you remove the float to clean the needle valve? Also check your fuel filter,and loosen your gas cap so it can vent if that solves the problem get a new cap as some gas caps need to have a vent to relieve a vacuum in the system.
