You might want to see if you can get a rebuild kit, as the needle valve may have failed, allowing excessive gas to accumulate.
Hope this helps.
Spraying carb cleaner will not help, and there is never a need for a rebuild kit. The parts that are in the kit, never wear out.

If the needle was not working, it would fill the motor with fuel. We do see this quite a bit, but it is an easy fix. On Club cars this is rare.
