all help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,

My first guess is the fuel was left on and the bowls flooded. Both my sportsman and scrambler with leak if the fuel is left on. As far as the line, my first guess is it's just a vent from the carb, but I will check mine and reply back.

 

thanks...like I said im a dummy when it comes to atv's...uhhhh how do i shut off the gas?

 

If it helps at all the end of the hose that isnt connected is brownish..cannot see thru it..

 

If it's below the carb coming from the carb and really small that is a vent. The nickel sized thing is a check valve. Doc

 

ok so it doesn't connect to anything.....why is it leaking?

 

the hose with the check valve is about 1 foot long

 

it could be a overflow hose

 

I took a few pics...can i post them on here....theres also a hose that comes from the side of the carb...the hose is clearer than other one

 

what do you meen clearer
