Default Polaris 500 won't start

Does anybody have a suggestion other than the obvious reason. Has Gas has Spark. Cleaned the Carb. New Parts in the Carb. Has Compression.
Mind Boggled.

im gonna go out on a limb and say you tryed with the choke on rite?

if you take off the air box and look into the carb... does the slide move up when the throttle is pressed and can you see and gas sprayin up into the carb when you press the throttle?...

only other thing is check every last connection...

oh yea,,,, is the kill switch off... lol just had to throw that in there. good luck

Default 2001 Polaris Magnum

Tried the Choke, has fuel in the bowl, the cab has a diaphragm that moved up and down with vaccum only when the engine i running, but replaced the diaphragm, new needle, seat, bowl, cleaned carb and jets. I know is a vaccum on the intake side, it will run if I hold my hand over the carb. Has good compression, it maybe the intake boot will check that, I just am not able to figure this thing out so I post a help cry for other things to try.
Thanks

It sucks and my wife is getting ****ed that I am putting money into it put I know its something simple but what. I am going to just drop it off at the dealer on my way to the lake and let them figure it out, it will cost me but it might be worth the headache. I will post what they find wrong, but won't be home till monday to do so.
Thanks
