Question leaking fuel

Hello. I have a 2001 500 Auto AC, and is leaking gas, new fuel lines. dealer says there is no carb kit for it to replace whatever it takes to stop leak. Sounds kind of fishy. AC has 900 miles on it, adult ridden, ie not hot rodded or abused. Any ideas? thankyou in advance.

I would find out exactly where the leak is..if not repairable then a replacement will be needed.

If it's carb related aftermarket carb kits are out there,but whether they're actually correct or not..https://www.ebay.com/itm/Quadboss-Ca...%7CModel%3A500 If it's just a worn needle causing problems and you want to go oem the auto and manual atv carbs shows to be the same and same needle valve and lists the bowl gasket,IF they're still available. https://www.arcticcatpartshouse.com/...0a1/carburetor

Neither can the rest of us, that is why we learned to fix them ourselves. Repair places charge way to much and most do crappy work.
