I was doing some cleaning on my '98 Scrambler 400 tonite and took the air filter & box out. I started it up and let it run and I noticed drops of gas spraying out around the carb. Upon closer inspection I saw it was coming from the bottom of the float bowl. I took the whole carb out to check it and found that the bottom of the carb must have been rubbing the engine because I had a hole worn in the middle of the float bowl drain screw. There's actually a rubber piece under the carb on top of the engine but it apparently didn't protect the entire bottom of the carb. There isn't a whole lot of leeway when installing the carb. It basically just goes in one way. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it?

 

Have had the same problem an we just got some epoxy an put that on it to fix the whole an built it up a bit.
