Default gas drip

whenever i rock the quad side to side,you can see gas drip out of the carb over flow tube.
when it is still,the drip stops.the gas odor is starting to bother me.it's that strong.
any ideas on how to stop this besides clamping the tube??much thanks

my guess would be at the bottom of the carb there is a screw, and then the line, at the bottow of the float bowl area. make sure it is tight. this should be your problem..

Your float is set to high. Fuel is filling up the bowl then splashing out. It would also do this when your riding.

To fix you must remove the bowl and bend the float arm. Bend it down so it shut off the fuel sooner.

I agree, its probably your float adjustment. Give it a try.
