How can you tell if it is time to replace the float valve on a '87 Spree? My Spree runs, however, when I take it off the center stand or lean it to the left, it wants to cut off. I have cleaned the carburetor and flushed it with seafoam, changed air filter, changed the spark plug and adjusted the throttle and air screws per the service manual.
It this the float and float valve causing this issue?

MadDog is correct. Believe me you can't tell a bad float needle from a good one by looking, unless it's through the unopened plastic wrapper from Honda-san. Buy a new one. Polish the seat with a partially-stripped Q-Tip and some polishing compound - I used Colgate.
