it takes a minute or two for fuel to fill the bowl. Work your lever back and forth while looking down the top of carb. You should see fuel squirting each time you push the throttle.Another quick check is to disconnect fuel line at carb, turn it over and watch for gas from he fuel line. Dont forget to remove plug wire from coil first.

catch the gas with the hose in a jar/can...the accelerator pump should squirt gas each time you press the throttle when lookin down the bore. hope you put all the carb parts back in.
