Some crud got in the needle & seat, or they're damaged.

Do you have the filters behind the inlet nuts on the carb?

Although now that I think about it, screwing the nut clockwise would raise the float. Perhaps you should turn it the other way.

To be honest with you, the few times I've had to adjust mine, I just turn it the direction that does the right thing.
