Some of the gurus will chime in sooner or later but yes, it does sound possible that you have float stuck; you maight tap the carb lightly to see if it will let go or better yet take it off and rebuild it. There also might be a piece of the inner hose or other crap broken loose and holding the needle open which will in any case flood the engine. Good luck
