Default warrior getting no fuel to engine

My 2003 warrior has suddenly stopped running. it is leaking gas from the vent hose and i dont think any is getting to the engine. it wont start with choke and the exhaust smells like gas too. ive just recently gotten into ATV's therefore im not that experienced yet. I havnt jetted the carb. I have a Prodesign air filter in it so should i?

i had a stuck float in my warrior too and my friend had to take the carb apart to get it running. Also you can check if gas is getting to your engine by checking the plug after you try to start it. If the spark plug is wet and smells like gas, than you are getting gas to the engine. With a stuck float you wont get gas to engine.

I agree on the carb rebuild, my 95 Wolverine (same carb as Warrior that year) suddenly started flooding and I had to replace the needle and seat, but they are expensive bought seperately from the dealer, you can get the whole kit with needle and seat off eBay for less money.

Sounds like a good carb cleaning/rebuild is what you need. had the same prob on my daughters LT80.
