Do you have a gas cap like this?
If so... make sure the end cap isn't plugged up. Mine did that before and I basically fuel injected the carb... it did the same thing.

what is that????!?!? thanks man just where in the carb is that?!?
how can they be stuck?!?! ive been in the bowl of the carb like 2 times today and i dont want to again.... i appreciate the help though man!
hes saying the gas cap on the gas tank tyler.....haha
take your carb off, take it apart. clean it. you may have some sediment from the gas tank (in ground tank at station). there is a needle to seat (looks like a little bullet with a spring) spray that with some cleaner...sometimes dirt will get in there and make it hang the floats open and over flow, thats why you get the gas pissing out. had that problem with 370's airstryker carb.
sometimes at gas stations when they just fill their tanks, you'll find sediment in the fuel. quads dont have fuel filters, so things like this happens. in my area, family express gas is highly known for this. pump gas in general is bad for this.
when we run race gas or 100LL we dont usually have an issue.....
happens to me on my dirtbike....u could probably just tap the float bowl a few times with the handle of a screw driver or something thats what i did. if that doesnt work u need to take off the bowl and mess around with the floats then put it back
somebody beat me to my answer....you'll have to remove the floats. make sure you do it in a clean environment, there are small parts....that needle to seat (little bullet piece) may just be bad...it has a spring inside of it....if it doesnt spring back up with you push down on the little shaft, its bad...ran into that issue a few times....
that works sometimes too, but if something is lodged in there, like a small grain of dirt or something its going to hold that open....you'll have to clean that carb up good...almost gut it.....but your floats are def sticking....
i tap my bowl when mine stick and it worked...i might have got lucky tho lol but yeah what he said is your best choice
most times that works, if the leak is small...if its pissing out all of the tubes, then you have a big issue that wont be solved by tapping...we use the tap method a lot too..9 times out of 10 it works, but then you'll run into what tylers problem sounds like....then you gotta go thru it...
i also think its the float needle, mine leaked forever, and when i took apart the float needle i found a miniscule peice of sand holding it open
well gonna try one more time and if that doesnt work i'm buyin awk's... i appreciate the help everyone once again!
pull out the pin that holds the float in place and clean it with carb clean and compressed air. Remove the pilot jet, air screw and choke and clean it all. Do not take short cuts.
The fuel should never have to be turned off if the carb is set up correct. I do not use any fuel shutoff valves on my drag bikes. Its a fuel restriction
