Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster... I own a new to me 2006 Sportsman 450. It's got about 700 miles and 60 hours. I took it out for a run this weekend and noticed a VERY SLIGHT (like a few drops over 30 miles) coming out of the hose at the bottom of the carb @ the float bowl.. This only happens when running. When parked and off, no leaks - even with the petcock in the on position...I've seen a few posts on this and understand it could be anything from a bit of crud to the need to rebuild the carb.
A couple questions.. Is this typical for such a low hour bike? BTW, the bike was used by an older gentleman in a trailerpark for his transportation and didn't really see dirt until last weekend. Where can I get a rebuild kit for this particular model? I can find just about every other flavor of Sportsmand carb kit but not the 450..??...
I kind think there might have been old gas in the system and it may have "Scmutzed" up the carb....
Sorry for the long winded note.. Any help would be much appreciated.
