The 1982 1.9df T25 I bought for my daughter is pouring fuel out of the carb (Solex 34 PICT-5), looks like the accelerator pump at a glance. It's been more or less stood for three years so could be corrosion around spindles etc as well.
Probably best to just replace it with new, or at least a very good used carb. Any suggestions as to what carb and where from? Any info appreciated.
Solex, worth rebuilding?

More likely the float stuck, not heard anything good of most solex repro carbs, I would rebuild it personally

Yep stick with the original. Can always be refurbed. Only things that really wear are the throttle spindles and the float valve which can be replaced.
