300ex won't start

[fazlo321]

Okay so my 300 turns over but won't fire, so i put in a new plug(thinking that was the prob) still won't fire. The quad has set for probably 4-6 months without being started. The plug gets power but not enough for me to see the plug spark. So I wanted to see if it was getting fuel, took the seat off and took the hose off the carb and turned it over, I'm not seeing any fuel being pumped into the carb. Is there a fuel screen in the tank? Carb clogged? how you clean it? If anyone has any suggestions please help, i'm a newbie to quad repair world. Thanks for the help guys

well I backed out the screw for the drain on the carb and it flowed steady, put it back in and she fired right up. funny..

thats what you call water in the bowl. You had all that condensation in the bowl and you were pumping more water into the motor than gas so it could ignite correctly.
