Default Polaris 2001 Carburetor Problem? Help

It did not stay idle without given gas and or had the choke out. So we took the carb out and cleaned it put it back in correctly and now all it does is turn over. Can we prime it or what is the problem. PLEASE HELP

Pull the fuel line from the carb and crank the engine over. If that pump is ok should be a steady stream of fuel. If the pump is weak,plenty of cheap ones on ebay,etc. If it's getting fuel,don't just try to clean a carb,rebuild it proper. That way you only have to go into a carb once.Polaris Sportsman 500 Carburetor Repair Kit Fits 2001-2002 Carb: Shindy 03-408 | eBay
