I recently purchased a 05 polaris sportsman 500, when I turn off the quad after riding there is a gas leak. The gas is coming out the drain line, is it suppose to do that? It stops when I shut off the gas, is this another issue making itself known? Sure could use some help...

 

im guessing it a carb bike not EFI. does it do it when its being rode?
might be a float issue.

 

No, its not supposed to do that, it sounds like the float is sticking open.

 

Carb not EFI, should I do anything with the float...possibly a carb rebuild? It runs great, I will also check if it leaks while running.

 

If your going to pull the carb you might as well rebuild it. It could just be a piece of dirt holding the float open.

 

I agree Ghostrider11, if I've gotta remove it. Thank you, everyone for the info...

 

Let us know what you find.

 

my 97 is doing the same thing.Gonna pull it apart tom
