You can cure this by removing the float bowl and bending the float tab so the float sits lower. Put back the bowl. When the gas in the bowl raises the float, it will force down the gas inlet jet further into place to stop the leakage, much like a toilet bowl mechanism. We're all intimately familiar with that.

Usually this leakage is a sign of a worn jet washer. You could replace it and get the same or better result, but this requires more carb disassembly.
