Floats don't gas load especially if they're brass, unless the brass has a crack in it and it fills with gas. Happened on two of mine..both about 30 years old..don't know why they got a real thin crack but they did.
The foam floats will load with gas but it has to be quite old and then the only real solution is to replace. I suppose you can dry those out. You should be able to take off the bowl and remove the float without removing the carb.
What might have happened is the gas varnished up on the needle and it's open from the seat and then it needs cleaning.

Depending on how much gas leaked,you may want to check the oil. Ron Mn.
