Husky 455 leaks gas

[Chrisg]

I carry my 455 in an mount on my Polaris Ranger that basically has it standing on end,bar pointed down. This past weekend it started to leak gas while in this position on the atv it has never done this before and it rides there alot. Anyone know what might be causing it to leak all of a sudden? If I take it out and lay it flat it will not leak anymore and it starts and runs perfect. Haven't dug into it yet kinda like to get an idea what to look for to trouble shoot it.
Thanks for any suggestions Chris.

Where is it leaking gas from? Carb? Muffler? Tank?

Not sure it is just dripping off the bottom of the case while in an upright position, bar down. It is not coming from the muffler I did see that much if that helps any.

I would check the gas cap and clean it may be losseing up a tad on the ride

my guess would be the fuel hose has rotted,with today's "new" fuel
