Stromberg Carb Question

My 69 TR-6 front carb is spitting fuel out of the breather hole to the float 
chamber--the top/left side hole on the carb facing the air canister (flooded 
the air canister almost full!).  I rapped the carb with a screwdriver handle, 
drained the carb (bottom screw out plug) and used a straightened paper clip 
to "feel" the floats moving (shape them loose), all to no avail.  I think my 
fixed needle (nonadjustable early type) must be stuck/not working, and won't 
stop the gas flow even when the float says "enough"; any quick fix 
suggestions? (or is it card rebuild time..ugh).  Thank you
Don
