Default trailboss leaking gas

so awhile ago i put my 4wheeler away, and i took out the battery and turned off the gas and ran the atv till all of the gas was out of the carb. well today i put the battery back in and turned the gas on and when i turned it on, gas started leaking out, at a fairly fast rate. i looked and it seamed to be coming from the bottom of the carburator. so i took the seat off and looked at the carb. i didnt get a very good look at it but it seamed to have all of the fuel lines hooked up , i still need to take a better look at the bottom of the gas tank and all of the lines. i just cant figure out why when i put it away it didnt leak but when i turn the gas on later it leakes if anybody has an idea or something that i could check. that would be great.

thanks

your carb prob sat drie and the float in your carb stuck tap the bowl with the back of a screwdriver or something to trie and free it up. thats what it sounds like to me.

hope it works or you will have to take the carb off witch isn't a quick task how these polarises are designed everything has to come off to get to it.

o man that stinks it couldn't just be easy. its brop just the flooat you might just have to flip the carb upside down. put the atv on its lid jkjk that could hirt something if you weren't careful. well since you are going to have it off it is proba good idea to clean out everything anyway.
