My foreman started idiling rough, and now wont idle at all. I took the air box cap off and the bottom is full of gas and the carb bowl overflow tube is leaking gas. Does the carb need to be cleaned or does this sound like something else?

Any and all help is appreciated, I'm suppose to go riding tonight...

Thanks!!

Pop the bottom off of your carb, there is more than likely dirt of sand stuck in the needle that controls the floats, holding them open and flooding it out

I've seen that happen before on a friends ATV.

ok... I cleaned the carb, it was dirty, now before starting i pulled the dip stick and oil and gas came gushing out. Is this also a characteristic of the float getting hung open??

I just want to make sure before I start it and mess somethig expensive up.

I'm going to change the oil, plug, and air filter before I start her up. Is there anything else I should do before I start it???

Thanks again gentlemen.

Change the oil filter too.

 

[jeeping1974]

change the oil and filter. I'd do a compression check on it just to make sure that the rings are still sealing properly.

Sounds like you need to do a check-up on that thing. Change gear oil, engine oil, possibly air filter, oil filter, fuel filter. Just check everything. lol Gotta keep that Carb. clean too.
