Default Gas everywhere!!!!!!!

HI, I recently baught a 1984 200S, It was workin fine but today when I got back from a ride there was gass every where...It seemed to be dripping down fron this little thing that is hanging down from behind the carb. As you can tell Im not an expert on ATV's but if someone could give me some direction it would be great..Thanks

Thatnks for the tip, but I didnt have the bike up on da grab bar, there is no actual tube there just a small piece of metal hanging down n thats where the gass is comming from. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do?

for now....turn the fuel valve to off. It should stop flowing a few minutes later. The float needle and seat are being held open, probably by a piece of crud. The carb needs to come apart, and the needle and seat cleaned up. The only other thing it could be is a high float level.
