I"ve had this happen on classic cars, my 55 Ford tractor when I first got it, a gas powered leafblower and a couple other carb"d engines. I"ve never had a bad float, it"s always the needle sticking open or sticking closed. Open and the fuel keeps running like you describe. Closed and she doesn"t want to start. Invariably it"s usually caused by debris or varnish in the needle/seat area. Make sure to start using Stabil in your gas when you are going to store an engine without regular use for a period of time. This will prevent the formation of varnish and keep the fuel good for up to 2 years (sometimes longer).
