Most like cause is: Float needle not sealing.
This is a very common issue.
What’s happening:
The float needle is supposed to shut off fuel when the bowl fills.
Dirt, varnish, or ethanol residue keeps it from sealing.
Fuel overfills the bowl and dumps out the carb overflow or throat.
The Fix:
Remove carb bowl
Clean needle + seat
Replace needle if grooved
Clean carb thoroughly
