You could try rebuilding the carb including the fuel pump.

Every carb needs to be cleaned brother, just a fact of life. If it "almost starts" with no carb on it then you know the spark is good, so the only x factor is the fuel and the carbs, clean the carbs and see what you got.

Welcome to KF, and dont be an *** when people try to help you

Wow no wonder you are having trouble with it! There is a vacuum operated fuel pump on the side of the carb! FYI 3/4 of the fuel tank is lower than the carb, how do you suspect the fuel travels upward to the carb in your account that does not exist? If there is no carb then that makes it fuel injected of some sort right? NO, that would also require a fuel pump huh? Do us all a favor and delete your KF account to save us the headache of ignorant people like you who don't even know what good advise is. BTW I have owned two of these skis, a 300 and a 750 SXI Pro. Sell it for $20 and cut your losses!

Pouring fuel in the manifold is not the same as mixing the fuel into the air intake, if it wants to start with fuel poured into the manifold that means that your ignition and timing are good, all you need is for the fuel to be properly mixed into the air. Hope it helps.

Yeah because telling you to rebuild your carb and fuel pump in no way suggests you have a carberator issue??? I stand by my last response!
