1987 dodge ram truck pouring gas out of carb.

From : mikep28

Q: sometimes when the motor is hot and been shut off for a little period of time like runnin gin home depot. i come outside to restart it and its flooded pull the breather top and its covered in gas. this happened once last year and now twice this year. i smacked gently on the side of the carb with a 1/2 drive ratchet and it stopped. let the gas drive up and it drove fine after that. of course i dont drive this thing but maybe once a month for a trip to the lumber yard or dump. any idea here stuck float .
