04 sportsman 500 carb issues.. (i think)

so i finaly got spark to my polaris... cranked right up and ran like crap. cleaned carb really good. ran better. but sometimes it bogs down as soon as i hit the gas.. sparkplug comes out with black soot all over it.. sometimes drips a little gas from overflow on bottom of the bowl. and it wont idle at all times. have to hold the gas to keep it rumming.. i have to turn it off to switch gears because of this.. help??
