Will it run if you shoot a little fuel into the carb? If so, you missed something when cleaning it or put it together wrong. Did you check the lines going into the tank?

calm down bud, ull get it. thats the fun
of old sleds. the feeling of accomplishment
when your scooting down a snowed field.

just step back and look at your fuel lines
to make sure they are installed in correct
locations. pour alittle mixed fuel in cylinder.
if it fires, you will have to take carb apart
again. and take your time. something is
not correct. not a big deal. ive done it
before.

You have to prime the carb also. So you may pull a dozen plus times just to get enough fuel in the bowl to run.

Your best friend if you have an old sled with a tilly is a mustard bottle filled with premix. A couple of squirts and off she goes.
