The float needle in the carb is either worn or sticking open allowing fuel to keep pouring into the float chamber. The pipe is an overflow. Sometimes a simple tap with a screwdriver can loosen a piece of dirt from the needle and it will work again. If not, take the carb off, remove the float bowl, pull the retaining pin and take out the float itself. The needle will then come out. Check the top tapered edge for signs of wear and if you find any then replace it with a new one. If not then spray the needle "socket" with carb cleaner, fit an in-line fuel filter and reassemble. Should now be operational again.

Water drips in bottom shelf of freezer, creating a piece of ice and then water leaks under refrigerator

The drain hole is blocked, so water is not drain and getting freezed, and then melting and it leaks.--------the drain is stopped up ,, remove the inside back panel inside the freezer and pour hot water into the troft under the coil in the back and flush the drain ,, once water runs though the drain hole then put the panel back in and it will be fine.
------------------
The drain tube is located below the pan below the fins at the rear of your freezer. The drain tube has a trap (s-shaped curve) to prevent air flow out of the freezer. The problem is that water gets in this tube and freezes. You can take the sheet metal cover off the back, get a turkey baster and flexible tube, and continuously flush hot water.this will clear the clog.--------- Thanks.

WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE TOP OF THE FRIG ONTO MY SHELFS. iM NOT SURE WHERE ITS COMING FROM. iT IS NOT THE ICE MAKER BECAUSE I SHUT THAT OFF. aNY SUGGESTIONS

Completely pullout the shelf and throw the water. Look for a clogged drain tubing inside the refrigerator. Often it is not unnoticeable because it is fill with water. Unclogged it by using flexible, solid wire or flexible bamboo stick, just long enough until it penetrate the bottom of the drain pan tubing.
When your already do it, rinse it with water (the drain tubing), throw the water on the drain pan and clean it. Wipe any wet with rags and you'll done.
I hope my suggestion help you.

MY BIKE IS LEAKING FUEL WHEN I SET OFF ON MY CBR 125 R 2005. it comes out of the drain fuel pipe and out off the carb...

This is an overflow tube. When the float in the carb sticks it lets fuel keep going in the carb. A lot of times it is just a small piece of debris. And you can usually hit the bottom of the carb and the float will close. If not take the carb off and remove the screws that hold the float bowl on and clean the float needle valve.

There is a drain plug in the bottom of freezer. How do you defrost and not have water on floor. Is there an attachment hose of some kind? I do not have a manual.

You did not supply a make or model. Typically there is a drain in the freezer with a drain tube to a drain pan below the machine. If you take the bottom grille you should be able to see the drip pan and the drain tube. The drain tube is a flexible tube about 1/4" diameter you might be able to attach an extension using a barbed fitting that you can get a a home depot or lowes.

Fuel leak on Polaris 325 trail boss it is leaking out of the bottom of the carburetor.

if it is leaking from one of the drain tubes coming from the carb it could very will be the float is stuck or the needle on your float is not seating correctly and is causing it to flood the carb and leak out the overflow tube(s)

Water leaking into refrigerator

There are 2 types - the older types where you have a drip cup in your refrigerator extending to the back of your fridge into the wall and down the hose - OR the newer ones where the drain is in the freezer and goes straight down the drip pan. Look at the back of your refrigerator, if you see a tube extending down into a drip pan (on the compressor or next to it) that is your drain tube, if you can locate a drain cup in your refrigerator you can remove it and dislodge anything plugging your drain tube.

For newer or models without a drain cup, you'll have to remove the freezer panel and look at the bottom you should notice a hole, this is where the melted ice from defrost drips into through the tube and onto the drip pan below. Maybe there is excess freezeup ordebris or something blocking out the drain, so the water will spill over to the other opening where cool air passes onto your refrigerator - usually the culprit is excess ice buildup - if it is the case you can manually blow dry that section, clearing up the hole. once done you might also want to insert a piece of wire or long flexible cable to unplug the drain line.

Good luck.

Gas leaking from bottom of carb on 90cc ATV

yes there is a tube that goes on it. It hangs straight down about an inch or two past the botom of the 4 wheelers frame. It is for a overflow of gas, which is usally caused by either dirt in the carb holding the float to high and allowing the gas to just run straight thru and out the bottom of the carb or a bent or maladjusted float setting. But since you said it just started, i would suggest this. I have fixed many and many bikes by simply removing the carb bottom and cleaning it with carb cleaner. It onlty takes a small piece of dirt between the float needle to keep the needle from making a good seat in the carb. Clean it well Please be carefull and keep the carb well away from your face as to not get any blowback of cleaner in your eyes(IT BURNS) This should fix your probblem
