Default Warrior not ran for 4 years

I have acquired a 91 Yamaha Warrior. said the motor was proffesionally rebuilt and had only ran 1 tank of gas through. The quad was running when it was parked. what should I check or do to get running right away after setting that long? Thanks In advance. Mark

drain all the old oil and gas out, and add new premium gas in it, new JASO approved oil and a new oil filter, clean the airfilter or replace if you have to, make sure everything is greased, you might have to take the carb off and clean it also, sitting that long most likely it has tarnish built up in the carb, check the battery and see if you can get it working by checking the electrolyte level and adding distilled water untill its at the right level and charging it, if not the just buy a new one.

Got it running but It bogs when you hit the throttle and gas leaks out of the carb(2 side hoses) Is the float stuck or just more junk in the carb?

Could be lean mixture, clean the carb and check again. May need to adjust mixture screw if it isn't all varnished/blocked
