I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high.

What is a heavy float in a carburetor?
The float is heavy because it has leaked and filled partially with gasoline or it has become saturated. If the float is heavy it will not stop the flow of gas into the float chamber at the correct level. This will cause the carburetor to dump a rich mixture into the combustion chamber. The engine will foul the spark plug quickly and use more fuel than expected.

Why is gas coming from vent pipe on holley 4180 carburetor?
There should be a hose connecting the vents on the front and rear float bowls. You are missing the hose. If for some reason the fuel level is too high the gas will travel to the rear of the carb and be burnt in the engine. You need to have the float level adjusted to a lower level, maybe a full rebuild. Do not use the carburetor without the balance hose, due to fire hazard.

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.
Why would your gas tank drain out after your mower is off?
Look for a crack on the fuel tank. If the system is garvity-fed (fuel tank is not attached to the carburetor and is above the carburetor level) look for cracks in the fule hose. Another likely possibility in a gravity-fed system is the fuel float stuck in the open postion, thus not stopping the fuel flow through the carburetor when the engine is off.
