take it off the air boot and where it gos to the head then take the bowl off turn the gas on a shake the piss out of it sounds like your floats stuck when you shake it if they come undone the gas will leak out the bottom make sure you got a bucket lol hope i helped good luck man

Welcome to the site :)

I recently had the same problem with my carb. I thought my floats were stuck so I fully disassembled and cleaned it, but made no difference like you described.

Over time, your float valve and seat can go bad, allowing fuel to leak past it and therefore bypass straight out the overflow hoses. It is my understanding that letting the quad sit for long periods of time (which mine does) makes this worse. I would replace the float valve and its seat, more than likely it's the culprit ;)

try tapping on the carb with a small hammer and see if that helps.
