From what you describe, it sounds like an intake leak

runs great wide open. idles ok. new carb helped the middle range problem. more of a drop in rpm then a surge. then comes back up then drops again. that problem somewhat better. plugs look good. gonna change them out anyways now pretty much the backfire when i tromp the throttle. been wrenching small engines for years , this got me stumped/

Is the backfire exhaust or carb?

It's lean. I would agree it is a leaking intake manifold.

ill check into that. only pops when i hit the gas hard . if i ease into it not so bad, full throttle runs good and good power. no idle issues either. been like this since day one.
