They are called the needle valve and seat, it regulates fuel with the floats.
I have had numerous issues with these, and if they are even the slightest buggered up, (slices or nicks on the rubber part), replace them.
I have had fuel floats that have gotten soggy, (heavy), or floats (the brass kind), that have filled up with fuel. Sounds like a fuel level problem to me.
Does the fuel come pouring out of the overflow and on the ground?
If not, could be a float level problem. I have a gage to check that too.
