Default All my gas leaked into the Crankcase

Hello,

I just got my first ATV (used) and need some info. I found all my gas
had leaked into the crankcase. The shut-off valve was on, and the bike was
sitting for a few weeks. Is this normal. Should the shut-off valve always be off
when the bike sits ?? Someone said that my Carb might have a stuck float.
Let me know the scoop.

Thanks Rob.

Drain your oil and change your filter, Shouldn't matter if you leave your gas on. Sounds like your needle and seat in your carb went bad and should get replaced.
