Is the float sticking open or closed, probably open and the gas is overflowing. Either way, if the bike runs well otherwise, you only need to replace the float needle valve. It's right under the metal flange on the float, take float off, replace needle ($15.00) and slap it back together. If you have not bent anything then there will probably be no adjustments needed.
