The key to stopping that leak is for your carb's float valve to shut off the gas (pretty obvious, eh?).I'd take that valve out and make sure no gunk is preventing the needle valve from sealing when the float pushes it closed.
Double check the float level while you have it apart.
There are a couple of good books on the subject of Model A Carburetors: check the Reference Desk Page of the MAFCA Web Site for descriptions.
