1995 Kodiak 400 carb issues

[kbsparky]

I have a 95 kodiak 400 it starts and runs at idle and top end but in the mid-range it spits and backfires. I have put a rebuild kit in it and also the diaphram on the side to no avail.Still does the same thing.

Am looking for a carb but cant find one. Did find one from a 350 warrior but not sure if it will fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

An update : I got it to run good at idle and in the mid range pretty good at top end but it seams to run out of gas at top end .I have the float set at aprox. 1/2" and have noticed gas coming out of the (guess its a vent hole) on the air box side of the carb when sitting not running it keeps flowing out of this hole . I have tried different float settings and this problem keeps comimng back. ANY help would be great.....

Warning - i know nothing about carbs im an EFI person. But i read a few threads were leaking fuel was caused by a needle not seating properly. You rebuilt the carb correct? Did you rejet it? Maybe there is a lil gook holding it open

Yes I belive I did it correctly ,the jets that came in the kit were not the right size so i have the origenal jets in. I am not sure about the plastic main nozzle tube thinking it may be cracked? The fuel seams to seap out with the machine not running ,it comes out through the vent hole on the airbox side of the carb and is fine when it is running .Does seam to be running lean maybe float to tight.

Ok, here is what I see, you do not leak gas when running cause the quad is using the gas, it over fills when not running cause you are not using the gas for the motor...end result, check the float, it is sticking allowing gas to build up and overflow.
