318 will not start

Ok needle and seat looked ok to me. Car had a new gas tank installed last year according to the paper work that came with it.
There wasn’t a lot of fuel that ran out when I removed needle and seat. When u shake the car u can see the fuel in the carb though and some ran out. Looks level with the threads

Of course it looks good "NOW". Consider the DUMP of gas that's gone down the intake before you looked at the float level. I'd get those floats out and check them closely. I bet you'll find them compromised.
