Grizzly 660 poring fuel out!

So a little while ago I sold my grizzly 700 so I could buy a real nice, almost new 2005 grizz 660. Its only got 500 miles and looks brand new.

Over the last couple weeks all I’ve done is take it for a lap or 2 around the neighborhood. No issues at all, ran great. Well today I got around to doing an oil change on it. After filing the oil up and attempting to start the grizz, I notice it takes 6-7 cranks to start (usally it starts first crank, regardless of hot or cold, choke or no choke), but it did start. I ran it for a minute or 2, check oil again, fill to appropriate levels, and try to start it again. This time it will not start, just cranks. I’m freaking out a little, I didn’t know what damage I had just done by not having the oil totally topped off the first time I started it (when I checked the oil it wasn’t touching the dipstick yet). I looked around a little to find a huge puddle of what I thought was oil under the machine. After smelling it, I was happy to find it was just fuel. I also descover that crap loads of fuel is pouring out some black tube at skid plate level. After tracing this tube, it goes right into the bottom of the carb. I’m guessing this is float overflow.

So anyways, whats the cure for the grizzly?

I had a ride planned for Sunday so I’m hoping to work on it tomorrow night/Saturday to get it going.
