Leaking Gas?!

[icefisher4ever]

We have a yamaha grizzly 600 and a yamaha bear tracker 250 and they both leak gas if you dont shut the little valve to off. And if you do forget to switch it to off you will walk out in the morning to find a good size puddle of gas. I doesnt put a huge dent in the gas tank for leaking but it tends to add up and with plowing snow and what not thats the last thing i need is that grizzly leaking gas. So any help would be great.

Sounds like leaking needle seats in the carbs. Also check the fuel lines and connections.

On my Kawi there is a drain for the carburator bowl and I had a similar problem. I noticed it was coming from a tube so tracked it to the drain. Tightened the valve on it and so far the problem seems to have been solved.

Had the same problem in 2 of my Kawi. For a while I could tighten the carb drain, eventually had to get a new screw with the o-ring. Didn;;t cost mush. Cousin is having the same proble with a yama. He just shuts off the gas as he won't see to invest the couple bucks to get new screw..

Make sure it isn't the float sticking. This can cause the cylinder to flood and fill your crankcase with gas.

my 600 Griz does the same thing. Only fiz so far is remembering to turn off the gas
