Tom's gives the classics but just to repeat a bit:

1. Leaking (sunk) carburetor float
2. Leaking needle and seat in the carburetor
3. Broken pivot pin on the float
4. Stuck automatic choke (quite likely if you haven't cleaned the gasket/screen and vacuum piston recently - just disconnect the link, tie open the butterfly, and road test).
5. If an electric pump, disconnect and run on the mechanical pump.
6. High float level adjustment, esp. if that coincides with the beginning of the problem.

Should be an easy diagnosis - keep us posted please.
