Question moved from motorcycles to ATV model category.
Turning over has nothing to do with the carburetor! Your battery is flat. It will need charging.
If the carb is leaking, it is because the float is set wrong or the float valve needle isn't seating properly.
Engines only need three things to run.
A supply of clean fresh fuel (not sitting a year)
A Spark at the right time.
Compression.
You say you cleaned the carb **in** carb cleaner, as opposed to *with* carb cleaner. Did you strip it down, check the float for holes, clean the jets and needles?
This sounds like a basic Main Jet clog. I suppose it could also be a semi-clogged fuel filter, but the Main jet is more likely. This is assuming that the engine is not fuel injected. As I do not know the type of carb I cannot give you any of the easy cheats to try for a quick check, but for older carbs with a slide you can pull the slide out and use compressed air to shoot some air down the main jet hole at the bottom. Otherwize, the "Best" way is to disassemble and clean. This is a "Guess" at best, however I have seen this very problem several times on multiple carbs. Good Luck.
Take fuel cap off to make sure it is getting air to fuel tank. Check fuel valve to make sure it is on. Drain carb with screw on bottom of carb to check for water. Pull spark plug to make sure it is firing.
ooppsss.. FIRST - get the carbs cleaned and set by a factory trained tech!! That will clear up a lot...if it continues to smoke out the right side.. your right side crankshaft oil seal is probably leaking.. use a professional!!!
