Default 2005 Polaris Sportsman ATV

Sorry, Very dumb ?, but where is my ATV carburetor located?? I am 63 yr old lady just post divorce after 31 yr marriage & I didnt know to stabilize the fuel. I've replaced battery..turns over now, but still won't start. I am told that carb probably needs cleaning ....but I don't readily see it :/

Pull up the seat and slide it back a little. You'll see the air box and breather tube. Below that is the air boot that hooks to the back of the carb.If the machine has been sitting up,then the carb probably does need cleaning. Pic is worth a thousand words. Here's a carb rebuild on a 2001 Sportsman 500 similar to yours.
