Default need carb help please

I have a 05 400 4x4 that runs very rich after it warms up. last summer the kids left the ignition on and drained the battery of all power. I tried charging it but it would not take a charge. so i bought a new battery and installed it. now the dang thing does not run for squat. before i replaced the battery it sat about 3 months. thinking it was a gummed up carb i disassembled the carb and cleaned it. this had no effect . I speculate it has something to do w/the electric choke. does this machine have some sort of reset button or does it need to be reprogrammed w/a computer please help and thanks in advance

Default same issue

A few weeks ago i had the same issue. Took it apart cleaned it put it back together and it ran so hot it melted of my heat flash. Took it apart again and cleaned out all the ventrols. Useda few of the carb cleaner and few of the internal plugs were gunked up cleaned those with a small drill bit just worked it through with my fingers runs like a champ now. Mine is a 2006 and there is a mixture screw on the bottom side of the carb and that i opened about a turn and a 1/2 from close. Sound like the little vent holes are pluged up like mine. Be careful if you use an air gun unless it is completly apart you might rupture the bladder for your pimer. best of luck.
