Predator 420 carb leaking

#1
I can't seem to find what's causing the carb to leak. It will slowly drip fuel from the float bowl until the entire tank is drained onto the ground. Thus far, I've tried changing the fuel shutoff valve gasket, the float bowl gasket, and the three carb gaskets with no success.

probably the needle valve on your float is sticking or the float has a hole in it and is taking on fuel :thumbsup: cold be the tang is out of adjustment not allowing the needle valve to close when the bowl if full

It was the needle valve sticking! I pulled the carb bowl apart and when I removed the float and needle, a chunk of debris was on the needle. No fuel leaks now. I appreciate the help!
