Starting problems

I'm having trouble getting my yfz started. It will turn over, it has spark, and it will start with ether sprayed directly into the carb, but it won't start on its own. It ran fine the last time it was rode, but last weekend it wouldn't start, and it won't start again this weekend. I cleaned the carb this morning but that didn't help. There was no water in it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

sounds like your carb is still dirty.

are you getting gas to the carb?line plugged?Even a dirty barb will give you some sign that it wants to start

Yeah, I can open up the drain screw and gas has atleast made it that far. I'm going to take the carb apart again because that's all I can think of.

CHECK YOUR VALVES IF THEY GET TIGHT IT WONT START.

Crank it a few times, then take your spark plug out and see if it is wet, if it is wet then your valves are too tight, and if its not wet its a carb problem
