I don't know if what you have is factory or not, so no advice on that. But think it was kevski that uses something like cutting compound on the valve seat to make sure it's properly clean and free of abrasion defects to work reliably. Could use small dowel rod in a drill with t-cut to gently spin it on the seat to give it a polish.
I have never seen tangs with curves, only straight,
Reminds me of a song. Tangs for the Memory.
That one seems at more of an angle than"normal" Julie
Is it possible that as the float moves up and the tang contacts the valve, that a slight sideways load is being applied to the valve as the valve is actually contacting the slope of the bent tang, canting it in the valve body very slightly. If that is the case it will never shut off. I have stripped quite a few carbs over the years and have never seen a float with anything but a flat tang.
One of mine on the 350 looked like that.
