A stuck float is not necessarily a bad float. Usually it's just stuck.
Regarding draining the fuel from the carb for storage, there are two schools of thought on that (and opposing)
1. Drain the carb so the jets don't get gummed up and the bowl stays clean.
2. Don't drain the carb because the seals and non-metallic parts will dry out and rot.
I align with number 2, but I do make sure to run a tank of conditioned fuel trough the carb prior to storage. I generally don't have any issues with this method.
