Leaky Carb on Arctic Cat

[CrowRiverRat83]

Hey guys, I have a 2002 AC 300 4x4 that is starting to leak gas out of the bottom of the carb. It only does it after the machine has been shut off. I tried tightening the drain screw, but it's all the way tight. There is a grease zert looking type of deal on the bottom of the carb, and that's where it's coming from. Any tips? Thanks.

You have dirt in the bowl. Open the screw and let some fuel run out and then retighten and see if that helps. Or you can remove the bowl and clean.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured after doing some research. Thanks.

I have a 2000 400 cat that leaked a tank of gas on garage floor. Found leaking from the primer. Replaced primer assembly, quit leaking.

Don't know for sure w/o seeing it, but typically the needle isn't sitting in the seat and the gas is coming out the overflow aka grease zero thing. Bowl has to come off and needle n seat probably need changing. Dennis kirk is usually cost effective and quick to ship.
