Don't know quite what to suggest. I've never used the Viton-tipped needles, and never heard of lapping the needle to the seat. Maybe you can take them apart (again?) and look for some subtle defect, or perhaps post some close-up photos and someone will see something that's thus far escaped notice?

Just a second thought, have you looked at the seat and the casting for some small crack? You've checked the float and it has no liquid inside and no evidence of a leak? Have you actually measured the fuel pressure in the line?
