Default Big Bear Leaks Gas

Hi I have a 92 big bear and it constantly leaks gas out the overflow tube that connects to the bottom of the carb when the gas is turned on, but stops when the gas is turned off. I was wondering if the float could be stuck or cracked, or something like that anyway. any info would be helpful.
Thanks.

HI, it could be the float is set too high,or leaking or in my case one of the floats fell off,I had to solder it back on.It could also be dirt blocking the needle valve.

my guess would be the floats.......




I've seen the gas tank make a vaccum before, due to no venilation......and then it leak out. But I doubt this is the case......and if it was....just remove the gas cap to see if problem persists.
