The fuel overflow is most likely caused by the brass float pin sticking within it’s passage. A float in poor condition adds to the problem. Polish the float pin, clean the seat, fabricate a new float, coat the float with dollar store super glue, let the super glue cure for a week or more, and install the float to the correct height on the float pin using the groove and clip.

The sticking problem can sometimes fix itself by running the motor for a period of time. The vibration from running and the motion of the float helps loosen any crud that is contributing to the sticking float problem.
