Not sure about the cub carbs, but floats can stick by rubbing against the side of the bowl.
Sometimes a few sharp taps on the carb, with something that's not going to break it, is all that's needed. If that works, but then it happens again, you'd want to take a look at the floats.
It's also very possible you dislodged some junk either in the fuel line, or the carb itself. and now it's stuck in the valve.
