Fuel overflowing from carb

Aloha!

Since this is my first post on this board, please allow me to introduce myself -- Jerry D. from Waianae (Hawaii), new owner of a used 23' Bayliner powered by a 1995 Johnson 225 Ocean Runner.

Previous owner of the boat ran ethanol gas, and I seem to be catching all the problems. Just replaced the VRO pump because it had a hole in the air motor diaphragm. Now, I've got fuel overflowing out of one of the carbs. My question, before diving into it: Is this a stuck float, and should a carb overhaul correct the problem?

Here is the link to a video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll-aogeS15M

Mahalo!

The rubber tip needle valves used at that time are almost as sensitive to time as impellers, the rubber (silicone) change. After around 5 years of use and this kind of trouble starts, just change the valves.
