Like Old recommends I was taught at an early age to ALWAYS shut off the gas when finished for the day. Eliminates the possibility of filling the crankcase with gas.
I too have experienced intermittent float sticking. Most often it is a worn float pivot bracket, or a poorly made replacement float. But this also happened to my Minnie Mo U:
