my '06 rancher es 4x4 is leaking gas from the end of the hose that drains the carb bowl. the screw on the bottom of the carb bowl to turn this drain on/off is tight. help.

Had the same problem on my Rancher. Smelled gas before I left the house. Pulled up in the swamp to unload bike and it was empty

Shoved a stick in the hose and that helped keep it from draining

Pull carb and give a good cleaning. Pretty simple to do. Float is likely stuck in open position. Has happened to me before a few times over the years with other models.
