Default Timberwolf Gas Leak

My 1995 Timberwolf is leaking gasoline from what appears to be the bottom of the carb and/or the small overflow tube running from the carb. Is this a common problem and what is the fix?
Thank you.

Hello

Sounds like your floats in the carb are stuck and not shutting off the flow of fuel or the little pin that stops the flow is missing the rubber o-ring or rubber tip that allows it to seal off the passage to stop the flow. I would take off the carb and check for holes in the floats (there should be gas inside the floats themselves if they are damaged) and check the pin and o-ring for cracks,splits or whatever. also make sure the floats can move up and down freely and the pin travels in and out of its seat freely. Good luck
