my atv ive had it a week and the card leaks fuel from the drain tube that goes to the ground. ive tightin up the screw adjustment it stopped for a while then it started again. its a constant drip

 

it is the float valve in the carb bowl. take the bottom bowl of the carb off and the take the float out and the valve that the float pushs up and down slide that out and clean it off and the hole that it goes in



put it all ack together and it should stop

 

thanks i will try that my wife was gripping yesterday because it smelled like gas

 

I've been having this problem, as well as starting problems with my 110cc. I'm thinking that they are somewhat linked...either way, thats for the tip!

i found this site looking up vbikes so i baught the 125 for my my sofar so good my kids have a kymco50 and 90 and i have a a vbike 250 sw comming tomorrow. but i hope this works so the wife will be happy. i wish i would have known about these bikes before it would have saved me some money on the other 2, but i cant complain they are rock solid

 

There should also be a shut off valve under the tank. Also, put a good fuel filter in there. The needle valve in the carb is very finicky about foreign matter and will leak if something works its way down from the tank. I always turn the fuel off when not in use. ghcoe

Good to hear. I just did this tonight on the 110cc. I noticed that when I got the thing it didn't even have a fuel filter OR fuel shut off valve on it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] How/why, I do not know. But there is now, but I still can't get mine started. I think it's a battery issue though, cuz it cranks fast at first and then slows goes down to nothing at all.
