Here is the parts that are subject. This is one of the last two pictures on the page I gave you. One of these parts has to do with it. Big brass thing is the float, needle and seat are under it, better shown in the next pic on the page. What was said below is correct.

Think of it like your toilet. If the float is too high, the water runs to the over flow (out your breather hose or carb gasket). Needle bad is like the shut off being bad, ie: toilet keeps running water in and right back out the over flow.(carb leaking a little over time will cause it to go over and leak out the air inlet). If you poke a hole in the float, it won't float back to the top....just like a carb.
