Make sure you set up a camera on a Tripod just in case. You might be winning 10 grand on America's Funniest Home Videos and check your FIRE INSURANCE.

On a serious note...

The needle valve's inner spring is likely varnished and sticking causing the overfilling of fuel in the float bowl.

The valves can be cleaned, though I replace them to avoid a customer "come-back" at my expense. Sometimes cleaning will not restore them to working condition.
