My polaris 500 ran fine last winter. I wore the battery down today and it runs but not right. I cleaned my K&N air filter thinking ill start their then i see gas leaking out the little hose at the bottom of the carb. I shut the fuel off and am wondering where to start. I am wondering if the float is stuck or is their a piece of dirt in the needle and seat. Does the carb have to come off to clean and repair. Also sometimes bowl screws round off b-4 releasing. Has anyone had this symptom. Thanks

Remove the carb and clean it and inspect needle seat.
