Stuck float valve? (TR3)

Hello all,

Had to move the TR3 this afternoon to make room in the garage and noticed
that upon starting a stream of gasoline was shooting out the overflow port
on the rear carb bowl (don't know what its really called....  I believe that
this is the port that is directed into the front of the carb on later
models).

Naturally, I shut it down real quick once I saw the gas coming out.  Not
much pressure there, was easy to plug it up with my finger.

I assume that this is a symptom of a stuck needle valve?  Just take it
apart, clean and reassemble?  Or just wait until it gets above 35 degrees?
:-)

Thanks much,

-aric.
