Default Polaris Scrambler 400 starting problems

For some reason I am getting gas in the carb but it is not going into the cylinder. I tried to find some diagram of how the carb is hooked up, but only found the diagram only. Please help!

Check for spark first. If it's there, pull the fuel line off of the carb and make sure you have good flow from the fuel tank. If that checks out good then it's probably time to pull the carb and give it a good cleaning.

Check engine compression.Bad comp will ne let gas into cylinder.Also check pipe for blockage such as mud and pull manifold off to check for raw gas in pipe.
