Leaking carburator !

Hello fellow rider's ! I'm new to this site hoping someone can give me some direction. I have an 06 yfz-450 limited edition "if it means anything" Last glamis season I cleared out a bogging out carburator of my quad, installed it back and today I turned it on and found gas coming out of a hose connected to the carburator. Is this because it's dry or the float got stuck ?

Thank you in advance, new season coming & want to be ready for it !

Thanks Michael, you're rigght it appears that the float was stuck! Now I have the issue with the engine won't stay on unless the choke is pulled out or engaged. Can you tell me if I need to adjust the carburator & where to find this adjustment screw ?

Thanks again ,

Air fuel adjustment is on the bottom of the bowl. Download the manual @ this site, it has all adjustments.
