YES, it will work without the leak guard, BUT only if you can pry it out of the float without damage, which if you screw up a brand new valve from an entire kit,(( which you never needed)) it just cost you $23.00.

RETURN THE KIT AND BUY A $7.99 400A

Take the extra money and buy a cheap case of beer and have a drink on all of us that tried to help you with a very simple and easy fix from the get go.
