The carb float works a needle and seat valve. This is not completely sealing. The gas tank is higher so gravity makes fuel flow thru carb to oil sump. I have a Vanguard engine that does the same thing but it does have a fuel shut off valve. As long as I put the valve in the off position when I am not runnning the engine it is no problem. If you don't have the valve then install one.
