Default Wolverine leaking gas HELP

I pulled the carb to clean it. Reinstalled and now it's leakingn gas out of the drain tube. The screw is tight whats the problem? Is the float set wrong? If so how do i adjusted it?

one more problem. I started the motor and drove the quad for about 5 min's then it died and did not want to stay running it would run but only me staying on the gas. I cleaned the plug befor running. is there any adjustment i can make or something I should look.
I have order a book but don't want to wait on it. I'm ready 2 ride.

Default Wolverine leaking gas HELP

The overflow tube not only drains the carb when the screw is opened up, it allows excess gas to drain out, your float is either stuck, or bent, or you got some dirt under the needle and seat,allowing gas to come in. You will need to pull the carb again, make sure to clean and blow out the needle and seat area, and make sure the float level looks good, and that is seals up good, just tip the carb upside down and blow into the fuel line, it should stop your breath when up, then let air through when down in the lower position. ( get some fuel line if you don't like the taste of gas !!) I don't have the specs for the float on newer Wolverines, just the 95, which has a different carb. There is also the chance the needle and seat are bad, they do wear out. If cleaning again won't solve it, you may need to replace it.
