I have a 2006 Sportsman 500. I see fuel flowing up/down what I believe is the fuel overflow tube. It is a clear plastic tube (maybe 1/4 inch) that goes up into the area where the speedometer and headlight are located. Is this normal?
I occasionally smell a bit of gas too, especially after a lot of shaking. It isn’t leaking gas onto the ground that I can see, so it isn’t a major leak.
I read some other threads about this maybe being caused by the carb float level? I was hoping to get some background on this problem. I bought my ATV new, and haven’t ever touched the carb. It runs fine, but I was just concerned about the occasional smell of gas, and noticed this fuel running in/out of this overflow line.
