I have fuel leaking out of the left hand tube (I believe it's the overflow) on my Yamaha Scorpion. I was just wondering if anyone can help me with what the cause might be.

Cheers

The overflow from a Carburetor or from the tank .. ???

If from a Carb ... it will be (most likely) a sticking carb float.

Can you turn the fuel off at the tank .. ???

Thanks for your help. Yes the fuel tap turns off.

Then turn it off ... then check/fix the float on the offending carb. If indeed it is a carb overflow "Leaking" fuel ...
