Default LT80 help

Hey guys I have a 98 suzuki LT80 that I can not keep running. It will start and run fine for about 5-10 minutes and then floods out. I then have to let it sit for hours to dry out before it will start agian. I have cleaned the carb well and this didnt help any. It floods to where gas drips out of the back of the motor where the exhaust bolts on. I think it needs a new needle and needle seat but can not figure out how to get the needle seat out of the carb. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Dustin

my sons 87 flooded also it took me a while to figure it out.the petcock was faulty (prime location). plus i replaced the needle,seat and floats. it took a while to get the floats adjusted . remove the pin holding the floats the needle should be hooked to the needle, the seat should screw out. sometimes some dirt will get in the seat not allowing the needle to seat correctly, allowing endless gas in.
