Today when i got through riding my warrior, i took the air box lid off and took the air filter out. Then i wiped the box out with a towel to get the dust that had collected in it. Now the problem is that is hasn't cranked since i have done that. What could the prob be? Or do you think i got stuff in the carb?

Is the bike turning over or just won't start? If it won't start did you put the air filter back in with the hole towards the carb? This would not be the first time I've seen someone do that.

Jeff,
I would begin by taking your carb off the bike and cleaning it, it's not goning to hurt the bike any and it may solve your problem, you could have gotten some dirt in there and it may be plugging up the jet needle. If that doesnt work just do the basic checks i.e. is it getting fuel does it have spark etc..
good luck,
Dave

With the filter off, a starting fluid spritz or two into the air intake hose might get some action. Be careful using this stuff (starting fluid); a nearby fire extinguisher might come in handy.

OK, i solved the problem, i did some looking over some stuff on it, then i checked the spark plug, and sure enough it was the spark plug that had fouled out, so thanks to the replies.
