no start honda clone

Ok so i have a 16 hp honda clone in my g9. I have fuel going all the way into the bowl of the carb, but not into the engine. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome thanks.

Do you have a safety fuel cutoff on the bottom of the bowl. You'll have two wires going to it. It acts like a plunger to cut off fuel flow? If not, you may have a clogged jet or something.

There is only a jet from the bowl to inside the carb. The emulsion tube may also fall out if you take the main out but its larger diameter than the jet and very unlikely to clog. Check the main you can look right in there at it, but need to hold up to light to see through it really. Main is in same hole as the nut that holds the bowl on. Don't strip the main with a crappy screwdriver whatever you do. Make sure you don't have an intake leak or valvetrain problem like a pushrod that came off.
