I'm not usually a dramatic guy. But I'm losing my 💩
I'm a very capable mechanic. I farm for a living, and mechanic pretty well everyday.
This ATV is going to be the end of me

^^link to what's it's doing
I have 3 brand new carbs and have put each on to make sure the carb wasn't the problem. The SOB will not start. It tries. But won't.
When I'm lucky it runs for 3 seconds then quits
Any idea what's going on? Definition of crazy is ringing a bell right now
Shoot me some ideas
I have spark

Did you solve the problem?
If not did you check for an air leak between the carb, manifold and engine? Sometimes the rubber seal goes?
After attempting to start unscrew the spark plug to see if it's wet(that shows fuel is going into the cylinder). If it is wet then the problem is the spark or compression(valves or rings).
If the plug is dry I usually add 2 or so teaspoon fulls of petrol into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and immediately I attempt to start it. If it fires and doesn't rev, I try half a choke to a full choke depending on the revs.
If all this fails then I check the valves in case they need cleaning or are stuck.
