Remove all plugs and check for spark on each.
without a compresson tester all you can do is hold your thumb firmly on the plug holes as its wound over, they should all blow and suck.

remove all carb float bowls and check for water/crud in the bottom.
with bowls off blow threw fuel feed and check air flows into bowl area and that it shuts off when float is lifted.
DONT BEND ANY THING RELATED TO FLOAT HIGHT.

If possible remove outlet from fuel pump and check it is pumping.

Check the fittings on your tank and primer bulb for sealing/Shit etc.

You have your hose hooked up the right way and are not trying to suck fuel out of the motor and pump it into the tank?

If it has air,spark,compression, and fuel it should go.

If fuel is literally running out the exhaust but your plugs are not wet this is very odd!?
