the gas is coming out of the carb bowl overflow tube. That's why the hose is mounted towards the top of the bowl. The one at the bottom is the bowl drain. Did you drain the carb bowl before letting it sit for any length of time?

tap the carb bowl with the handle of a screwdriver. Should un stick it. Then run a strong mixture of seafoam in with the gas in the tank

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.

Great way to over fill the oil inside the engine.
That is were the over flowing gas will go. Posted on 10/29/14 at 12:53 pm to TigerBait413

Yea - I should read responses before responding
To the OP, it can happen in a month depending on the gas and other features. not familiar with the sea foam as others mentioned but have heard good things about it.
