Yes, that inline fuel shut off in itself will probably cure it. Turn off the fuel when not running the engine.

Clean out the bowl and needle and seat too.

Ok. If the fuel was leaking past the seat, wouldnt it flood out while idling? I do shut off the fuel after each use because it will leak. It has a bing carburetor and i dont think the float can be adjusted. I will check on these ideas
