Yeah, that. Float valves are man made and will eventually fail. Gravity, OTOH, has proven to be 100% reliable since the beginning of time.

Sorry to hear about the bike, but glad you are ok. Kind of hard to diagnose what 's going on fully without seeing the bike. Can you post up a few pics?
Fuel leaking out (plus all kinds of fluid under the bike) can be caused by a lot of things. Not sure if the throttle cable breaking would cause this much fuel to leak out. Let us know what you find out.

From the 3rd pic, it looks like the battery has been leaking. Maybe it's from before but check it out.

I'm lookin at the mouth of the carb . . . NASTY!!! Play it safe with a rebuild kit for the CV-40. While yer at it, convert it to an External Breather. The oil mist from the head breather is getting sucked back into the engine. Trust me, your piston domes and combustion chambers will look worse.
