Let me modify one recommendation. Sure you want to find out if gas is in the bowl and if the float is working, but there is one safe bet that you can use without the hassle of removing the bowl...
First remove the bowl vent lines on the carb...they are the 2 lines on either side that appear to go up into nowhere. If the float is working and adjusted right there will not be any gas overflowing the nipples on the side of the carb. A stuck float will let gas overfill and run out....
Second, turn the petc0ck to ON, open the screw on the bottom of the bowl and drain the carb into a small jar. Got good clean gas? Then the float valve opened properly, too. The gas should also stop flowing after a minute or so. Did the gas stop? Petc0ck works then, too.
If you run into anything strange with all this, then remove the carb bowl.
