Default 2000 Bayou 300, no start!

Hi Guys, got a 2000 bayou 300, been sitting a couple
weeks went to start today and would only spin.
Has gas, and its turned on and getting fuel to the carb.
Put new plug in and is getting spark. No fuel into carb, will fire
with ether and die. Took carb off, took bowl off, cleaned jets out
and still will not start. Can't get fuel into carb. Any ideas
Before this, ran great.
Thanks Rich

No gas getting to the carb then trace back to the fuel valve and any inline filter. Check the tank vent on the cap also.

I'm getting fuel out of the petcock,
but not into carb bowl.
Took it apart again today, cleaned all jets
and put a little air into the fuel inlet, the float
did move up when carb was upside down.
I'm going to put back together tomorrow.
Will also check your ideas. Thanks

In that case it's usually a needle and seat problem in the carb. Just install a new carb kit.NEW SHINDY CARB REBUILD KIT KAWASAKI KLF300 BAYOU 300 4WD 4X4 89-04 FREE SHIP

Thanks old Polaris tech, Put it back together today,
also checked fuel cap and vent.
Turned key on and it fired right up,
but no choke, doesn't matter right now.
Runs great. Thanks again Rich
