Default carb bowl drain

I am having a problem with the carb drain tube leaking gas when the engine is running. The drain screw is closed tight. This is on a Arctic Cat 400 FIS. Any suggestions what could be wrong would be helpful.

Probably trash in the needle valve, or the float is stuck/out of adjustment.

you need to remove the carb from the machine take it apart and clean it
when it leaks its usually from dirt in there typically the float is sticking open

Thanks for the information. I took the screw out the bowl drain and cleaned the screw and flushed the bowl out. Everything is working fine.
