"Removed the top of the carb and lo and behold the float was STUCK!"
You did not mean to say float (found in the fuel bowl). OK, the slide was not carboned up, but became stuck from the previous steel wool and metal particles that remained on the slide's surface. A metal galling resulted. I am glad to hear that you were able to remove these particles and get the slide to work freely again.
