Sounds like a badly-soldered float to me. You get better with practise! Try to get the fuel out before you apply a flame.
A sticky float-valve would give the same result but I've not had that problem.

toooo much solder makes the float heavy and not float correctly

i never had much success redoing the floats in the 1950 to 1969 BMW floats
