Looking at the float valve needle with a pair of watchmakers glasses I can see a very slight ridge so this is probably enough to prevent the valve properly closing. I have a bag of old carb spares so I'll see if I have an old valve as fitting a full set of Keyster parts once before they all leaked!

I believe members here have used a mild abrasive to bed in used valves, I guess it's unlikely to work on a badly worn valve.
