    Bad gas from the fuel tank may have clogged the carburetor again.

    Drain the carburetor into a clean cup to see what comes out.

    Bring the quad back to the shop - they did an inadequate job.

    It should run more than a day after repairs.

    Make sure the fuel valve is open, and make sure the carb is sealed good to the boot/motor/intake and airbox. Other than that either the dealership probably clogged a jet or two in your carb when cleaning it or didn't reassemble it correctly. It is possible that your valves are wayyy out of adjustment as well, but I'd check everything else first.
