Put a 11/16" (4.36mm) drill bit between the float and the body of the carb. On the opposite side from the hinge of the float. The float should just touch the drill bit.
11/16" Is nearly 3/4", that is without question incorrect. The correct answer is the float opposite from the hinge should be 11/64" away from the roof of the carburator when in the closed position.
11/64"
It is usually above the float in the little bowl at the bottom of the carb.
You can try bending the rod to the float slightly up or down.
More than likely, the fuel bowl float is stuck in the open position.

Sewerage ejector float? sump pump float and which type, fill valve float, Automatic feeder float? Steam trap float for condenstation, therte are many flaots used in plumbing as well as other trades
The Float is Inside the carb. when the bowl fills up, the float goes up cutting off fuel from gas tank. It has a inlet needle connected to it that seals off the fuel...on older Tecumseh engines, the float is metal and will almost always after a time get a hole in it, which will keep the float from floating, and cause your carb. to flood.
Sounds like the fuel inlet valve is stuck shut, or the float isn't working properly.
Bend the tab that contacts with the "needle". But DON'T put pressure on the needle when you do so. Carburetor rebuild instructions that come with the carb rebuild kit will tell you how to adjust everything and give optimum float level settings.
either bend the arm of the float so it is partially submerged or adjust it with the screw that is attached to the float armature
