The floats sticking in the open position in the fuel reservoir. Possible, but this linkage almost never distorts. Another possibility is a pinhole in the float, especially if the float is hollow soldered metal. Most likely is a worn out needle valve and/or seat. These are included in most carb rebuild kits. After replacing, check the float height against the specs, usually also included with kit.
