Observe fuel line from tank to carb. Ensure no cracks. Check connection at carb. Must have a fuel line clamp. Look at carb bowl o see if carb bowl gasket is sealing. Usually an indication of bad fuel line. Fuel line is purchased by the foot at any mower repair shop or some auto parts stores. Bring a piece with you, normally 1/4 inch. May need new fuel hose clamp at carb.

I have a 94 quadrunner that is busting up when you give it gas

is it fuel injected or carburated? if it is carburated look for leaks in and around the carburator it is usually the gasket between the carb and the manifild.

If is is fuel injected check the fuel you may have water in your tank. Also check the fuel in the tank of the carborated vehicle as well.

Engine hard to start after sitting

Sounds like it could be a carburator issue. Fuel could be leaking out of the fuel bowl or back to the fuel tank. You can tell this if you have the breather off and *before trying to start the engine* operate the accelerator arm on the carburator as you look down into the carburator. If the fuel hasn't leaked back you should see it shoot some fuel into the carburator. Also could be a fuel pump problem where the pump lets the fuel leak back and there isn't fuel there to pump up to start the engine when it's cold. Also the 360 wasn't released until 1971 so it's pretty safe to say it's not a 1967 or not a 360.

Carburator leaks gas when cycle is started or running from what looks like vent hose?

Sounds to me like your float valve is obstructed by some debris. This is causing it to stay open and leak fuel. Better it leaks to your vent hose than it leaks in your engine and contaminates your oil.

You need a proper carb cleaning. Not some run in the gas tank sh*t. If the tank wasn't full when parked, chances are there is rust in the fuel system to get this out you need to disassemble the carburetor and thoroughly clean it.

Try not to ride the bike til you do this. It's a fire hazard.

Makita dpc7311 leaks at crank

The DPC7311 is a two-stroke demolition saw, there should be no standing fluids, oil or otherwise in the crank case to leak out. The reason it uses a 50-to-1 gas-to-oil mix is so the oil in the gas can settle on the moving parts and lubricate them.
If you do have anything leaking anywhere out of your crankcase you most likely have problems with your carburator in that too much fuel is getting into and filling up the crankcase.
You should also look to make sure your leak isn't coming from a crack in the fuel tank or from the carburator or fuel line and running down to look like it's coming from the crankcase.

When I turn the fuel from off to on, fuel leaks out everywhere

Do you mean at the carburator ? If so the float (controls fuel level in carburator bowl) is either sticking or leaking making the fuel flow continuously, out of carb. The float and fuel inlet needle need to be unstuck or replaced if fuel is leaking in the float itself making it heavier therefore letting in more fuel than it should. If anywhere along fuel lines, replace fuel lines. Hope this helps.

Sumthing is wrong with the carburator

hi,
to get a good combustion inside the engine, you(engine) needs fuel-air mixture, since it leaks fuel the mixture is too rich on air. Where does the carb leak? maybe it's just the connection that leaks...I mean where the fuel line connects to the carb, If it leaks there it also sucks in extra air instead of fuel, and therefor the engine doesnt run smooth, choke or no choke, that makes no difference. Check that and if it leaks there just change out the fuel line with a new hose.
It could also be the little rubber ring that seals of the carb, If it leaks from the top of the carb...it's the little ring. Take off the top of the carb and check the condition of the ring, if faulty.. replace it with a new one.
Hope this helps....can be pretty dangerous riding around with a leaking carb... Good luck, Gilbert.
