If your B was working fine prior to it suddenly gushing, it may be an easy fix. The easiest fix is tapping on the side of the carburetor with a box end wrench near where the float pin is. This may not be a permanent fix, but it will lead you to what to do next, such as opening up the carburetor and making sure that the float isn't contacting the side of the bowl, or that there isn't a piece of trash keeping the float needle from contacting the seat. Also shake the float to make sure that it doesn't have gas inside of it.
