In searching old forum posts, someone said there are sometimes old gaskets left under the carb float valve seat at the carb body.
For visible confirmation before I rip on this thing too hard:

There is a dark ring (pressed in?) above the cast threads which makes the contact point nearly level with the cast top edge. It looks fine, but if it is an old seal, or seals, I would be open to tips to remove them, as they have not wanted to come out with my current level of effort with a pick.
Symptoms that I am trying to resolve point to stuck or maladjusted float: bad mpg (5), visible gas just dripping and swirling above butterflies in main venture at all rpms.
I've checked timing, vacuum and for vacuum leaks several ways, but open to broader suggestions in addition to confirmation/denial that this seat gasket bore is atypical.
