It's not an issue of fuel leaking through and/or around the hose. The hose is functioning perfectly fine to carry the fuel out. I guess a more basic question might be, what is the purpose of that hose at the bottom of the carb, and what does it mean if fuel is pouring out of it as soon as I turn the selector to "on"?

I hadn't driven my Kodiak for a two months, and since it was low on fuel, the first thing I did was filled it up to maybe 7/8 full. Getting ready to start it, I rotated the fuel selector switch to "on" and within seconds I smelled and saw fuel dripping onto the floor. I quickly turned it off and the fuel gradually stopped - I can repeat this. The fuel is flowing from the hose that is connected to the bottom of the carb, and routes around to the left side toward the wheel well. Any idea what's going on here? It ran fine the last time I had it out. Thanks...

Thanks for the specific feedback. Indeed it does sit for a while sometimes, so what you indicate is certainly a possibility. I presume it's pin #13 in the diagram that you're referring to, yes? I guess I'll be figuring out how to take the carb apart next.

I've got a low-mileage Kodiak - it's been mine since new and while I maintain it reasonably well, I've done zero work on it from an adjustment standpoint. It generally runs fine, but increasingly I find that it stalls out at idle (only). I've countered this by cracking the choke a tiny bit, but I know that's a band-aid fix. My best guess is that I need to do a mixture adjustment of some sort. Is there one for idle only? Alternatively, I could probably fix it by upping the idle just a bit, but I don't think that's the right way. I'm mechanically inclined and work on all my own cars, but new to bikes. i.e. I'll learn fast, but may not have a clue on some of the bike-specific stuff. In fact, all of my cars are fuel-injected, so aside from a snow blower engine, I haven't worked on a carb'd vehicle since forever. Feel free to link me somewhere if this is already covered somewhere pretty well. Thanks...
