Ok.... since the gas stopped , most likely the petcock is working.
Probably your float /needle valve is got stuck. That can happen when the bike sits.
Before ripping everything apart, try this. Get some fuel treatment/carb cleaner, like STP or Seafoam. Measure correct amount and add to your tank. Then, drain the fuel out of the carb (small screw on bottom). Carb holds lees then a tuna fish can worth of gas. Close the drain, turn the petcock to PRI for a few seconds . Drain it again, as a just-in-case. PRI again then go for a ride around the block.
If it still over flows, you'll need to inpect the inside of the carb (float, & needle valve). If you don't have a spot to work on it, it may be time to call a shop.
