I would check the float next..........Is the fuel shutting off when the carb is full?
If the fuel running into the air-box after shutting the Quad off?
Is the Quad parked on a incline,Hill,tilted trailer..etc.......
Is the tank venting.so it is letting the pressure out?
........Caper........

If the tank is not venting the pressure will build up and may be released through the carb....
But if you have no issues with is stalling,.... it is venting.....With a venting problem many riders need to open the gas cap to allow air into the tank, when gas is being used air needs to be allowed to enter the tank .....Caper........
