It sounds like your float camber has a leak and has partly filled with liquid. The suction tube and screen should be free draining.

Best to look for a replacement

Taylor was the original supplier of this part and the float came with the blob of solder on top. Not sure about 1940, but the lower shield has 4 tabs that are crimped in place for 1948, not soldered.
