Taotao 125 broken carburetor?

That would make sense. The float being stuck would cause fuel to endlessly flow into the carb? I have not done carb work on an ATV. Does the whole carb come off and come apart to check the float or can you just drop the bowl and mess with the float?

Would that be similar to maybe the throttle getting stuck open at the carb? Basically something is stuck open that is just allowing gas to continue to flow constantly? I had to pull the fuel line off the carb and drain the tank before the gas would stop coming out of the carb. Come to think of it it was pouring out of what I would assume is an overflow tube as well. The tube that is connected to the bottom of the bowl.

On a side note, I was looking preemptively at aftermarket carbs in case I had to replace it. They are all based on a millimeter size. Is there something to measure that tells you what millimeter carb to buy?

Thanks all!!
