Check that the cable isn't in a bind and that you don't have the adjuster too tight on the rear brake drum arm. Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki & Kawasaki OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

Open the drain plug on the carb bowl and see if you have fuel draining out. If not,still may be a needle and seat problem in the carb not allowing fuel flow or the fuel line may be routed to where fuel can't flow to the carb.Plus just my opinion,cleaning carbs doesn't always help. Best to install a carb kit Polaris 90 Predator 90 Sportsman carb rebuild kit 03-421 or buy a cheap knock off carb on ebay for $18.http://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-2002-2003-2004-2005-2006-Carburetor-POLARIS-90-SPORTSMAN-ATV-CARB-QUAD-/221035235006?hash=item3376ba06be&vxp=mtr PLUS sometimes hard to get the little ones started that have the electric choke. Block the air box intake tube with your thumb and if the engine is in good shape,should crank right up..Once warm they usually crank ok on their own.
