Unhappy trouble starting 80 arctic cat

I bought an inline prime bottle, cleaned the carb and new gas, the spark is good, but it still will not start. The only way I can start the machine is by dumping gas in the spark plug holes,and usually takes about 15 times or more. help.
thanks.

hard starting

I found this to be a problem with my 79 El Tigre.What I did to get away from this was I will pull my choke lever up for about 3-5 seconds then put it back down.Then I can get the sled to start on the 2nd or third pull.I too had to put gas in the spark plug hole to get it to start until I stumbled across this way.I start mine without really choking it.Maybe this will help you.

I would soak the carbs over night then reclean them and blow them out! Also as mentioned go threw the fuel pump! Also replace all the fuel line including the pick up in the tank! Good Luck , I had a very fast 6000!
