I took my Kodiak for Thanksgiving week riding at my family's farm. I put like 75 miles on it and everything was going good until eariler today, My atv is unable to start and it is leaking too much gas out of the Carburetor's pipe. *Note* It only leak when the gas's setting is on "ON" or "RES", it stop leaking only at "OFF". Before this happened, it was having hard time reving up. When I push the gas button half way, it start getting weaker like it about to shut down. When it is at full gas all you can hear is weak idle. My guess is the Carb is running lean and maybe the spark plug is no good.

What yall thinK?

You either need to clean the carb or replace the float's needle and seat.

Thank for the replies guys.. Is there anything else I need to know about? I just took a look at the spark plug and the mixture screw today and the tip of my spark plug is almost clean white like it not burning enough fuel and I noticed the mixture screw is like wore out and can not even turn it. I just found out that the carb was not even tuning after the Dyno Jet was installed.
