Many times there will be a buildup of varnish where the needle seats up in the seat. If you don't clean it with cleaner you WILL NOT get it out. I have had some that I didn't have time to let soak in dip that I had to spray a q-tip that I had cut off and put in a drill and burnish the seat area to clean the varnish deposit off before it would seat correctly.I have to edit this to note that I see you have installed a NEW needle and seat. You will have to address the sticking. Make sure the spring is positioned correctly that goes between the needle and float. something is causing that sticking and will have to be addressed.</blockquote>
