Honda Carb issue?

[ADFD1]

I lent my power washer out and got a call that gas is leaking from some sort of vent in the carb. The machine runs well, but when you open the fuel shut off, gas leaks out of some vent on the carb. Since I'm not near the machine to see for my self, is there some adjustment that can be made to stop the leak. The carb is new I installed it at the end of last year, I used it a few weeks ago with no problem. The person I lent it to didn't choke it to start it, then when I reminded him how to start it, he left the choke closed too long, then realized he had to open it up.

It is a Honda 11 HP engine.

TIA

Float stuck, inlet needle and/or seat bad.

Thanks for the reply! Any easy fix, so the job that was started with it can be completed? Or do I have to contact the company I bought the carb from and ask for a new one? This one isn't even a year old and is a Genuine Honda replacement part.]
