    Squirt some mixed gas into each spark plug hole and see if it fires.
    If so, I’d concentrate on the fuel system.
    I’ve had trouble on a couple of carbs in the past where the carb
    bowl vent was either plugged, or had the wrong bowl gasket,
    preventing from gas actually filling the carb bowl.
    Of course, I’ve had float needles “stick” as well.
