Carburetor Overflow: 2003 Honda Foreman

My drain line on my carburetor leaked a fair amount of fuel last night. What would be the cause for this?

float is stuck. need to at the very least take it apart and clean the jets, but likely need to get a carb kit and do a full rebuild.
Had to do the same thing on mine last year.

Yep float stuck. Mine does it from time to time. I turn fuel off when sitting. Runs good so no rebuild right now

Could be a few things. Typically it’s trash or the seat. When it’s the seat, which it is more times than not, all you can do is polish it. Then that’s a gamble.. Replaced two carbs in the last month for people because of seat issues because they didn’t want to take a gamble. Hollar if you need help or whatnot.

My fourtrax did this after sitting. I ran seafoam through it, and have been running it more, and the float sticking has gone away.
I still turn the fuel off and let it run till it dies.
ETA: A knock off new carb is like 80-100 bucks.
