fuel draining from Carb
After running my cart for a while, fuel drains out from a tube on the bottom of the carb float housing. It is a small amount, maybe a few teaspoons. Any idea why this is happening?

Re: fuel draining from Carb
What kind of cart (year/model)? Got a pic of the hose so we can see which one?

Re: fuel draining from Carb
Needle and seat are leaking and letting fuel by. What you are seeing is probably coming from the overflow. When it is running the fuel is getting burned faster so the float is pretty much always letting fuel in. Once you shut it off, the system can pressurize and fuel is leaking past the needle into the bowl and the excess goes out the overflow.

Re: fuel draining from Carb
That was it. Seat/needle did not close completely by float. Cleaned everything and overflow has stopped. Thanks for the help. Sorry, should have said it was a 1992 Club Car DS.
