Sounds like the float needle isn't sealing properly and shutting off fuel flow.

i think it mightbe the floats but im not sure.otherwise it runs fine thats pretty mucht eh only problem it has

If gas is leaking out of the overflow when the quad is running, the fuel level in the carb is WAY too high. I gaurantee you're running rich. Pull the spark plug and take a look at it.
