Roger,

Clearly, A:  the shutoff is not closed firmly, thus allowing pass by or
B: The needle or seat in the shutoff valve are damaged which allows gas 
to leak past. 

No fuel will get to the sediment bowl or the line and carb if the 
shutoff valve is working properly and firmly closed.  I would suggest 
you remove the  glass bowl, then put enough gas in the tank to see if it 
leaks past the valve when it is turned fully in.  If it does, you know 
exactly what to repair or replace.

Good luck,
Charlie
