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?
there should be a screw located on the bottom of the float bowl. but on some quads it might not be easy to reach without long skinny flat head screwdriver. my suggestion is to take off the carb and give it a good cleaning. water can cause deposits and lead to clogs
