Do like I do, cheat. Buy a can of lubricated starting fluid and shoot it into the vacuum port of one of the carbs. If it doesn’t start, or at least fire once or twice, you may have other issues - plug gap, timing, oiled plugs. If it runs and then quits - fuel issues.

Dont use any throttle when trying to start it just in case your are,

I always fill my bowls with fresh fuel from my jerry can.... dont have a hand primer pump...over here in the UK they are causing engine our due outlet valves sticking,

If its been stood for some time the jets may be plugged with varnish from old fuel,

Have you checked for a spark at the plugs...best done in a darkish place as the spark is not that bright,

Full choke no throttle mine fire almost right away every time.
