If you have fuel to the carbs and spark you have carb issues and you should remove the carbs and either have them rebuilt or get a gasket kit and do it yourself, I believe that is your issue.

I did check the spark plug and its dry, I don't think the fuel line are hook up right. You have fuel line from petcock, then to the canister, then from canister to fuel pump, then from fuel pump to carb. Is this set up right?

Hi guys, still no start, I am getting gas from tank to petcock and gas through the canister and pulled the hose going into fuel pump, got gas and pulled hose off fuel pump coming out carb, got gas, but didn't crank to see if pump working, going to check that out this weekend.

Thanks, that's what I'm doing next.

If you have fuel to the carb and no fuel on the plugs and you have compressin and spark the CARB is your problem as long as its tight and the boot is good.

Hi guys, Had the gas tank off the other day, check air filter (looked good), pulled hose off fuel pump to carb, cranked it and hardly got a few drops out of the fuel pump.
