Question Fuel leak

I have a 2003 arctic cat 500 auto 4x4 it runs great but at idle or while sitting and not running it will leak fuel out of the bottom of the carb. I've replaced the float and float valve. It didn't leak for a while and now it's back to leaking again. What could it be and what should I do? Thanks in advance. J

Be replace them again and never never never use gas with any sort of ethanol in it. It dries all the rubber parts out. Use pure gas only

check the fuel filter in the fuel tank. filters are on the fuel shut off valve. if the filters are missing and you have junk in the tank it could get in the needle and seat so the gas will keep leaking by the needle when the float goes up
