New to this, bear with me. Our 92 Venture isn't getting fuel into engine, fuel pump is fine, cleaned carbs, installed new needle & seats a few weeks ago as engine filled with gas overnight. It ran great after that and then after putting away we could not get it started a few days later. There is fuel in both float bowls, when I spray a little fuel down each carb boot it fires right away and runs until fuel is depleted. Great sled for kids on the trails and on the farm. Compression is even at about 105 each side. Any ideas? Thanks!

Compression seems low but even. Could be tester. I would check pulse line(s). They go from crankcase to fuel pump.

Pulse line (and pump)seems to be fine as it squirts fuel out of both lines when cranking over.

Clean the carbs again the agitation of running it may have knocked some dirt loose in the tank or in the fuel pump . The carbs are probably plugged up again. I had the same issue from buying a 92 phazer that sat for 4 years. I would get the carbs clean then go for a great ride but the next time I tried to ride it would run on 1 cylinder then die out completely. I installed fuel filters between my pump and carbs just to see if it would help and it did.

There is a fuel filter on the end of the hose in the fuel tank. Fish it out with a bent wire and check it. It does not need another filter. Adding on fuel filters is adding more trouble.

Not really if the sled was sitting . A clear fuel filter between the pump and carbs stops all the build up of crap the can build up in the pump. And stop it before it becomes another tear down of the carbs and cleaning . It also let's you see what may or may not be in your fuel system.
