The problem is on a raptor660, the left side carb is just pouring gas out of the overflow. I banged on the bowl to see if the floats may be stuck but as soon as I turn the gas back on, it comes right out of the overflow.
I ran it w/ the gas off till it ran out of gas but that didn't help either. The funny thing is, it runs fine except for this leak. I noticed there is a screw which is used to drain the bowls out, I checked that and it was tightened all the way. So I wanted to get any ideas before I took the carbs out.
Thanks for any help w/ this!!
