I recently bought my son a used TRX 90 1997 model and it is dripping gas out of the carb hose when running AND when turned off. It only stops if you completely turn the gas to the OFF position. It also is hard to crank, even when motor is warm. Could the carb dripping cause the hard starts? Overall the ATV looks well taken care of, along with new sprockets, new chain, new airfilter, very little rust on the frame. Its in pretty good shape for its age. Now once it finally does crank it runs GREAT! No sputtering, bogging, idels nice and smooth and never cuts off.
I would just like to know what could be wrong in that carb to make fuel continuously run out of that hose (small hose almost looks like a drain or overflow of some sort) and if it would be a costly or cheap fix. And also if its whats causing the hard starts.
PS, I know spark plug is good, its new I just put it in when I got it home
