What is a heavy float in a carburetor?
The float is heavy because it has leaked and filled partially with gasoline or it has become saturated. If the float is heavy it will not stop the flow of gas into the float chamber at the correct level. This will cause the carburetor to dump a rich mixture into the combustion chamber. The engine will foul the spark plug quickly and use more fuel than expected.

There should be a hose connecting the vents on the front and rear float bowls. You are missing the hose.

Do not use the carburetor without the balance hose, due to fire hazard.
