I haven't said anything else, because it would just be repeating what y'all're sayin', but then I thought about this...

It could be a clogged petcock. It's an easy test, but tastes horrible.

Disconnect the fuel line from the carb (valve off). Let it drain and air out for a minute. Now put your mouth on it and blow, then turn the fuel valve on. Turn the valve off again before you stop blowing or you will suck gas.

If there's crap in the valve, you will blow it out into the fuel. This doesn't solve the problem of crap in your tank, but it will open a clogged valve temporarily. If the bike idles/runs fine after that, that was your problem, now remove the petcock to clean your tank out. If that doesn't solve your issue, I'd lean towards a sticky float; for that, just spray the ever-loving crap out of the hinges and fuel inlet with carb cleaner.

Now put your mouth on it and blow

Saw Blast carb on Amazon with new enrichener for 140 if you can’t get it rebuilt I think it is a Chinese knock off.

What Cooter said but stand up don’t matter if you’re hose is long if you’re laying down on the job.

I re-read what I had typed, after I hit "Post" and thought, "f it, it'll get some giggles."
