It is generally the float valve. Could be because of gum in the carb, a bad float valve, sticky/binding/worn out float hinge pin, or bad float. This is assuming the carb was put back together right the last time.
It could also be dirt/rust in the gas causing the needle valve to stay open or a leak around a line or something going into the carb.
I have learned by experience to fully clean and service the carb anytime I have to work on one, otherwise you will probably have ongoing problems with it.
