It sure sounds like your needle valve/seat/float is misbehaving, all right. This is also pretty common after a vehicle sits for several months.

The gasoline leaves varnish or other deposits on the valve/seat, and leaks develop.

I run my Super C quite a bit and the only time I"ve had the carb go bad on it was while the tractor sat idle for several months while a better machinist than I re-sleeved and -pistoned the motor about seven years ago.

I bought a new carb. When it"s starts to go, I"ll have the original rebuilt. As I understand it, there"s no point in having it rebuilt now because hopefully the new carb will last several years, and by then the rebuild will have gone bad.

I"ve never seen a leaky float, but others certainly have. Even so, I think it"s more likely to be the valve/seat themselves, or maybe a STUCK float.
