most likely the float was stuck, causing it to overfill and leak. after riding it a few months, though, the old gaskets finally got too dry rotted and it started leaking for need of new seals and gasketry so if we'd had that on hand when we filmed, we'd have certainly replaced it right away.
either you need to replace your fuel line, tighten the inlet, or put a hose clamp over it, or even all three. But I'd suggest taking it apart to look for problems, being ready to find more and fix them all.
So i recently am having the same issues make sure that it's not your fuel inlet line and not the over flow line that plugs into the bottom of the carburetor.
Sorry for the late reply. Honestly I probavly should have, but this is the first time I have worked on a four wheeler and so it didn't come to mind. I also spent a whole day trying to figure out why the engine lost spark (didn't film it though) so the repair process was a bit interupted. Anyway, good eye. Thanks for the comment.
@@nybergsgaragehey brother, when you took the carb apart did you have issues trying to start it after??? I didn't take the carb out all the way just the top and cleaned the needle area. I didn't know there was a primer
@@LambrosInc it started up right away afterwards. I'd suggest you tear yours down completely and if possible get a rebuild kit as well, sometimes these old rubber parts like to leak when they get all dry rotted.
Now i had my bike lifted from the back quite high to weld the frame rails and paint the bottom. I drained the carb of all gas and shut the fuel off completely so no gas would leak out. It was lifted for about a week i finished the bottom and put it down i turned the gas on and gas ran right through the carb i took carb off made sure float was okay and working fine it is from what i can tell seems to work perfect then when i have the carb bowl back on and i fill with gas runs right through again. Needle is perfectly clean floats have no gas in them the floats move up and down perfect. Also this carb is brand new oem honda carb put on 2-3 years ago the inside looks brand new the floats are still even white. Anyone have suggestions?!
I actually just watched a video where a guy had that problem, turned out he was plugging his fuel line in to the overflow tube, so the float couldn't stop the flow. not sure if that would be your problem. maybe check the float height too, if the floats got adjusted a bit they might not be shutting off the flow.' hope this is of some help! if not I'd be happy to try and think of a few more ideas.
Stephen Nyberg its maybe what that guy had ill double check that, i think its the needle not stopping the flow, ill probably have to adjust the float i think ill let you know what it may be
sorry, I'm not sure. I could check, but it's at my brother-in-law's house a couple hours away. You could go to his channel and ask if you want, he commented below, he's Excellence In Agriculture.
for sure. actually, the rear brakes are totally locked up and need a complete rebuild, but that's for sometime in the future when my brother in law (who's honda this is) has the money for it. actually, my leak-fix lasted about a year, and then the carb sprung a new leak, the rubber in the gaskets is simply too old and cracked, and needed to be replaced. so a good fix for some quick ripping around, but not permanent. thanks for the comment and subscribing!

Great video! Come back and make more any time you like... 🤣
sounds like fun.
What was the actual problem and what did you do to “fix” it? Difficult to see or hear what the issue was exactly.

leaks fuel really bad where the fuel line hooks too the inlet tube on carburetor what can be done to fix it. thanks for reply

But other than that you did a good job fixing the leak cool 😎
Why did you not clean the airbox out?

Never clean carb with brake cleaner it will dry out ur rubber seals. Always carb cleaner
If your careful where you spray it it should be fine.
@@nybergsgarage nope has to be carb cleaner
@@gabewest305 brake cleaner worked fine. don't worry about it.

Stephen Nyberg can you send me the video link?!
@@keeganfoster1792 I don't have the link to the video, but they didn't show fixing the problem, they just talked briefly about it.
What model is that? Have one and not sure what year.

Looks like it needs a break job because it squeaks as you drive it
