Removal of those items would pour fuel into the cylinder until it was full. No you cannot.
I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high. I would replace the needle valve and seat and check float level.I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high.

It is in the float chamber of the carburetor.
It very well could be, or a problem with the float. Remove the bowl off the carburetor, remove float, needle valve, and seat. Clean all parts good with carburetor cleaner. Float the float in some fuel to make sure it floats (when should not that any fuel inside of it). Put needle valve, seat, and float back on and open fuel valve a small amount, lift float up to see if it will shut fuel off, if it does reinstall bowl. If not you may have to replace the needle and seat.
The float bowl is supposed to be full of fuel. However, if what you are saying is that the fuel doesn't stop flowing into the float bowl and causes the engine to flood, then the problem lies in the needle valve that is controlled by the float. When the float drops because the engine is "pulling" fuel, the valve will open to allow more fuel into the bowl. As the bowl fills up, the float will rise and close the valve to cut off the fuel supply. The other interpretation I can make of your question is that the float itself is full of fuel. If that's the case, the float is damaged and must be replaced.
The float could be stuck because of stuck needle valve, or rust. The float could also be leaking and be full of fuel.

The float and or the needle valve is stuck. Could also be rust or dirt in the needle valve keeping it open. try tapping the top front bowl of carb with a plastic mallet it free the float somtimes
The problem is most likely in the float bowl. The float could be bad. The likely cause is the needle valve that is control by the float is stuck, or dirt has gotten between the needle and needle seat. This is an easy fix. Carefully remove the float bowl. The float will be held in place by a pin. Remove the pin, and float. Check that there is no fuel in the float, and that it floats in gas, if not replace. The needle valve will come out with the float, as they are connected by a wire link. Make sure needle vale is clean, and able to move freely inside it's housing. Check the bottom of the housing at the needle seat to make sure it is clean of dirt. Reassemble, and you should be ready to go.
Initial setting: Close needle valve (rotate clockwise) until just seated (DO NOT FORCE) and then open (turn counterclockwise) 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. Start engine and let it warm up (about 5 minutes). Fine tune: After engine has warmed up, slowly close needle valve until engine starts to stall for lack of fuel, then slowly open needle valve until engines starts to stall from flooding. Set the needle valve at midpoint between the two. If the engine starts to sputter while in service, open needle valve 1/8 to 1/4 turn for a slightly richer mixture. How do you adjust a float on a Tecumseh carb?
It is usually above the float in the little bowl at the bottom of the carb.
Carburetor needle valve probably leaking while engine is not running causing gas to run down the cylinders into the crankcase.
Needle valve in the carb. bowl not closing.
