Push the lever more forcely, snap it forward.

Not all valves have float so don't force it to hard...,
look at both caps on the bottom of the spools , the one you just removed, are they identical? If they are you do not have float.
A spool with the float function will have a longer end cap to house the locking mechanism.

It must not have a float because I have pushed pretty hard. The 2 spool caps appear to be the same length.
After fooling with the spool and putting everything back together I do feel it click into what feels like an extra slot when I push the joystick hard to the right. Is this the regen? Is it possible the valve has regen but not float? Is dumping with regen considerably faster?

Yes, dumping with regen is faster, and with les power.

Is your FEL valve the original loader valve.

Most loaders usually have float.

Someone might have removed the float assembly.

The length of the cans is not an indicator whether there is float.

Both of these valves have float. Notice the length of the cans.
