Default 96' lt80

Gas leaking from unknown location.
Having trouble starting and after trying to start it just about all of the gas leaks out from unknown location.
Doesn't start leaking right away that I know of maybe in about 5 to 10 minutes.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Thks

Clean the carb.make sure you remove the needle seat and clean well.
Also blow back thru the fuel supply hose to give the petcock a lil cleaning. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

You loose the O-ring that seals the carb to the reed cage?
Not starting tells me:: too much fuel or an air leak.
You running the petcock on prime or run position?

flaot could be hanging up.does the carb have a line off the bottom of it.if the fuel is coming out of that line then your float is probably hanging.if fuel is coming out of that line,tap on bottom of carb and see if this stops it.
