My mini atv leaks alot of petrol how do i make it stop?

Question

I have bought this mini atv quad but it leaks alot of petrol do i need a new carby or something HELP PLZZ.

Answer 1

It could be a leaking seal in the carb or elsewhere. Try to track down the source and then you will know what to fix.

Answer 2

i have had the same experiance on a mini mx bike. it will most probably be your seal on your carb is missing or damaged. there are some screws at the bottom of your carb, take them off and beware of a small petrol spilage! the cup tipe part should have a seal around the rim if it is gone or damage replace it. it cost next to noting just take it to a local garage so they know what size you need.

it could also be the the float is out of place, a little knock with a rubber mallet should do the job.

or it could be the needle hasnt been put back properly, you will see a cord going into the carb, you can unscrew it but hand and the put it back.

Answer 3

Sounds like the float is stuck.  Tap it with a soft face hammer and see if it stops, If not the float may be leaking (submerging) and you will have to put a new float in it.

Answer 4

if its coming out the bottom of the carb then you need to take it off and unscrew the 3 screws and theres like a square ish float flick that a few times and put it back together i swear it'll be fixed
