A suspected "stuck float" can possibly be remedied by LIGHTLY tapping the carb float bowl area with the handle of a screw driver. The vibration may un-stick it. It may not. This may assist in clearing up a no fuel problem or a flooding problem if related to the float. Be easy here. We don't want to whack it so hard that you end up sheering the carb off the engine.
I always treat my fuel with Pri-G. It tends to prevent or minimize fuel related fouling of the carb (gumming and varnishing) while sitting over time and not being used. Maintain a clean air filter at all times. Your piston rings, lands, skirts and valve faces/guides will last a lot longer. So will internal bearing surfaces. The engine oil will remain cleaner from external abrasive particulates.
