Three possibilities,
1 the needle valve in the lid has stuck open,
2 the float has a filled with fuel and sunk (usually due to a failure of
the solder holding the two halves together),
3 corrosion of the float chamber centre bolt has jammed the float from
rising, (caused by water in the fuel usually).
