If gas continues to run out of the carburetor on your 600 Polaris Sportsman when the engine is not running, it could be due to a stuck float or a malfunctioning needle and seat assembly, which prevents the carburetor from shutting off the fuel flow. Another possibility is a damaged or worn fuel line or fittings, causing fuel to leak. Additionally, a clogged vent in the fuel tank can create a vacuum that forces fuel out. It's advisable to inspect these components to identify and resolve the issue.
It really depends on the engine. You shouldn't use ethanol mixed gas in any of them, but really the only one that will give you troubles is the 850. The 850 is very picky about fuel, and poor fuel can make it stumble and not run at all. Run only high-octane, non-ethanol fuel in an 850. The older 500 and 800 engines will run fine on pretty much any pump gas.
