With most engines this symptom would point directly to a sticking float needle valve in the carburetors. This is especially possible with an engine that has set up for an extended period. Try giving a tap or two on the carburetor bowl to see if this stops the fuel flow. Don't be afraid to give the bowl a sharp rap but don't give it an "I'll kick your *****" blow either.
