Yes, it is possible that it is sticking. In the other thread, I asked if you had tried pushing the float down. I usually use the plastic straw from a can of carb cleaner, and push on the float through the bowl vent tube. Push down lightly, and release, the float SHOULD push the straw back up. If it does not, turn on the fuel pump, push down again, count to 3 fairly quick, and release. See if it pushes the straw back up.
When dealing with the well plugs, I take a small hammer and tap the plugs to fold the lead edges over. I use JB Weld, it's an old habit from when I used to work at a carb shop, I do all of my Q-Jets that way.
Are you using a nitrophyl float? If not, get one, and set it at 5/16".
