When fuel selector is on or reserve it leaks fuel in carb and through drain tube. Anybody see this before. I live in MN and it has been in a shed but stated and ran fine three weeks ago. Help me.

 

A buddy of mine had this problem with his new Grizzly. He took it to the dealer. They had to clean out the carb. They told him that when ATVs are manufactured, they put grease ( Kosmolene) in the carb to prevent rust while it is in the crate. They said sometimes they don't get it all cleaned out ( it makes the float stick) when they prep the machine for the customer. I don't know, that's what they told him, anyway. One time this happened to a Rancher I was riding with too. A guy told us to do this:

Start it up
Turn the gas off but let the engine run.
let the engine run until it runs out of gas and shuts off
while the engine is running tap on the carb. bowl with the handle of a screwdriver
turn the gas back on
it quit leaking for us

try it, I hope it works for you

 

Yea man it def sounds like the floats are sticking want to check? Take the bowl off and push them up then pull ur finger out from under them and let them drop down a few times; if they seem to stick or get stuck in one spot that is your problem.

 

What exactly is the bowl. I am going to look it over tomarrow when I get a chance. I appreciate the help guys. I hope everything works.
