So these are the parts (roughly)

The float valve is going to have a flat part, channel or something for the fuel to flow past as the valve drops. If the fuel won't flow till you remove it entirely then either you have mismatched parts or there's still some gunk up there. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

With the bowl off, see how far up you need to move the float to stop the fuel (or blow down the fuel hose and raise the float by hand if you don't want to spill fuel.)
Incidentally, that float valve doesn't look right. Is it a 1980's CB100N with a horrible cable operated disc brake or a really early CB100 from about 1970?
If it's the former, that needle valve looks round in cross section, the needle valve should look like this.
