Default Carb flooding

I was wondering why my car was running so bad... Well After turning it off I heard what I thought was water running.

It turns out that gasoline was pouring into the carb even after the engine was off. I think the valve might be stuck, but I'm not sure.

I'd post a picture, but I don't know how to any more so I'll post this from the web. In each barrel there is a round part in the middle- this is where the gasoline is flowing like crazy! What would cause this?



Thanks,
~Jay
