I am going to go with a few taps on the side of the carb around the bowl .. use the handle of a screwdriver .. it is mostlikely a stuck float.. if that doesn't fix it take the carb off pull the bowl look at the needle and seat make sure there isn't something keeping the needle from fitting snugly into the seat. Not sure if the tip of the needle is rubber or the seat it's self on this carb.. one or the other will be. Look for cracks in the rubber. If none I would try to re adjust the float setting ..

SOURCE: Fuel pouring out of overflow tube

Yes, it sounds EXACTLY like a stuck float. You may be able to fix it yourself depending on how accessable the offending carburetor is. Quite often you can free up a stuck float by setting up a bit of vibration. Give this a try > tap the side of the carb repeatedly using the plasitc end of a screwdriver. You are not looking to hammer the thing to death, just create minor shocks. The shocks / vibration will often free up a stuck float. Please rate this solution and let me know if all went well.

SOURCE: Fuel leaking out the overflow tube...

The overflow tube coming out behind the swingarm? If that is where it is coming from sounds like your float in one of the carbs could be stuck.

SOURCE: Fuel leaking from carb vent tube on newly cleaned carburetor

that would be either the float set to high or the needle and seat is missing an o-ring while you had it apart. Should look at getting a carb kit there only approx. 23 bucks and it would save you a lot of grief in the long run.

SOURCE: fuel leaking from carb from over flow tube

Sounds like the float is sticking, you can get card cleaner from motor shops that you spray inro the airbox (remove filter first)while running the engine, otherwise you will need to remove and clean the carb. Examine idle and main mixture adjustment screws and O-Rings for cracks and damage. Check inlet needle and seat for condition and proper installation. For detail about carbs check here-->

2005 Yamaha Bruin 350 ATV. What will cause my ATV not to run? Gas is coming from drain tube?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from motorcycles to ATV model category.

Turning over has nothing to do with the carburetor! Your battery is flat. It will need charging.

If the carb is leaking, it is because the float is set wrong or the float valve needle isn't seating properly.

Engines only need three things to run.

A supply of clean fresh fuel (not sitting a year)
A Spark at the right time.
Compression.

You say you cleaned the carb **in** carb cleaner, as opposed to *with* carb cleaner. Did you strip it down, check the float for holes, clean the jets and needles?

Yamaha 2004 350 bruin won't start? think there's water in the carb, it's been sitting for about a year.

there should be a screw located on the bottom of the float bowl. but on some quads it might not be easy to reach without long skinny flat head screwdriver. my suggestion is to take off the carb and give it a good cleaning. water can cause deposits and lead to clogs

Carb leaks out of tube under carb

Float valve in carb is leaking or the float is sticking allowing fuel to overfill the fuel bowl. If the engine runs well otherwise it is a quick fix with a carb kit. If possible run alcohol free fuel in all small engines. Saves a lot of problems.

I have a 2004 Honda Rancher 350 es,just installed a new carb and it still leaks fuel from the overflow hose.Any Ideas?

fuel overflow from the carb is usually caused by dirty or incorrectly adjusted floats and float needle.

Wont idle without choke being used

Main jet dirty. Likely Ethanol fuel fouling. Remove and clean jet. Check all rubber tubing to/from carb for cracks/deterioration and replace.

Leaking fuel from my carb overflow

ooppsss.. FIRST - get the carbs cleaned and set by a factory trained tech!! That will clear up a lot...if it continues to smoke out the right side.. your right side crankshaft oil seal is probably leaking.. use a professional!!!
