check the floats to be sure they aren't sticking, also check the floats to be sure they haven't rattled loose, then clean them out.
if it's still doing it the try turning the fuel/air mixture screw to the right 1/4-1/2 turn

reeds are used on 2 cycle engines, they go in front of the carburetor and are flat pieces made of fiberglass or carbon.
check the carb cleaning 101 post in atv repair and maintenance for jets and floats
