the float should block off any excess fuel at the rim of the carb bowl base junction….. if the inlet needle is working ok. that is why the float must be level when you flip the carb’s upper half upside down see pic. from garry
if the carb fills up to the top …enough to spew gas out….. the float/inlet needle assembly is not doing its job and you need to find out why before plugging anything.
think of it as a toilet bowl float valve… if it is overflowing it is not working right
