The carburetor is the part of a lawnmower that allows the fuel and air to mix before it goes to the cylinder. The working principle is venturi. When the air intake occurs, the flowing air velocity causes a pressure drop sucking the fuel to mix with it. The carburetor governs the fuel-air mix entering the engine with the help of the throttle. A tappet screw is present on the carburetor that controls the fuel amount.

If you do not have a lot of time and want a quick fix to solve the stuck float, you can use the following steps. This will work for a limited time and in no way should be seen a permanent fix. here
Yes. You can use it as a carburetor cleaner. WD-40 is a synthetic chemical and an excellent solvent. It dissolves away dirt or corrosion present on any of the components of the carburetor. [links]
Stuck float on a lawnmower, temporary Repair:
You are mowing your lawn when suddenly, your lawnmower chokes and sputters to a halt. The engine somehow does not get enough fuel. Another scenario arises when suddenly black smoke clouds start to come out of the exhaust. Both conditions occur due to a problem with the carburetor of the lawnmower. Both of these scenarios may also lead to a misleading diagnosis that the gasket is blown. There is a fine line of discrimination between the two. But in many cases, the float in the carburetor is stuck, which is much easier to fix.
Before starting with the fix itself, it is good to know more about the parts involved. This makes the Repair and diagnosis easier.

Tdarms,
Yes it sounds like you are on the right track. I think the pin is knurled on one end and must be driven out in one direction only. Use the punch on the unknurled end. Soak it first with your best penatrating oil. Pot metal breaks easily.
I also agree that the valve is not working, but I think the float pivot is binding, it must be very free. The rubber tip needles
will stick if deformed. Good luck you are almost there.
Re: Float valve sticking closed and unable to remove float pin. more
I assume that means I should replace the float valve and valve seat. Hears the real problem though. I can't seem to remove the float to get to the valve. The pin that holds the float should simply slide out, right? I'm not sure if it's blued in or bent but the pin won't even budge. The ends of the pin look chewed up. Am I missing something simple here? Could I drill out the pin? Any help would be appreciated.
