R5 Laser Fuel Issue

[WIRide]

Looking for some help. I have a 2006 TGB R5 Laser and having issues with the fuel system. Earlier this year, I cleaned the carb, added new gas, oil, and etc.. after sitting this winter. Started up with no issues….let it sit for a few weeks (bad weather) and it will not start/turn over now. I pulled the carb again and cleaned it and still nothing. I am starting to think I am not getting fuel to the carb because I don’t see any fuel in the fuel filter or when I drain the carb nothing is coming out…I replaced the fuel lines thinking I may have a leak somewhere….checked the fuel cap and that is fine…looking for some thoughts…maybe the fuel vacume shutoff or maybe the fuel filter is bad….maybe the gasket on the carb bowl is bad…your thoughts….thanks for your help.~!

check that the vacuum  line is connected to the shut  off
that is the place i'd start...
a missing gasket would not be it

you can test for no fuel  :::you spray some starting fluid in the air tube and start the scooter
if it just runs for a moment and dies most likely its lack of fuel ,

you can test the shutoff;;;
remove the 2 hoses fuel and vacuum line suck on the vacuum line
 and check for gas coming out the fuel line.

if you can't suck on the line  get a syringe and stick it in the vacuum line and
pull out the plunger.
