After swapping the main jet and the needle in my carb, my quad won't start. At first I thought it was the aftermarket clutch perch, but after splicing those wires together no luck. I then disconnected the boot behind the carb that connects to the air box and sprayed raw fuel and hit the starter button and she fired up momentarily. My problem is now no fuel?, I checked the fuel line from the gas tank, as well as the fuel valve on the gas tank, and also the breather tube. Anybody have any suggestions or similar expierences? When I get off work I will double check the float bowl, I checked the needle/needle valve and it operates smoothly with the throttle. Someone please help so I can race this weekend!

It sounds like you are not getting any fuel. Deffinetly check the float bowl. I always tap on the carb when I take it off for cleaning or repair, because sometimes it sticks. Tap on it when you turn the fuel on right before starting.
