701 Carb issues

[Essaythomas]

Hi guys, I just recently rebuild my 701 and rebuild both carbs...now my issue is that I'm not getting fuel to spray but I'm getting fuel to the return line...cleaned both carbs.
If anyone knows please let me know I have been stumped for a while with this thanks

I had the same problem once after the carb rebuild.
Went and double checked my work and realized I put the float arm on top of the retainer clip on the needle instead of in between the needle and retainer clip...

Yea I mad sure that was right and the float arm has to be bend a certain way that manual showed but still having issues....
I'm getting fuel in the read line and through the carbs and into the return line but the carbs arnt getting fuel in the intake....I pulled both about about 8 times now and cleaned them and can't figure it out

Have you got it to start by dumping a little down inside the carbs? Don't dry crank for too long without fuel.

No it starts if I put fuel inside the carb and I put oil down the plug whole to lube It up and keep it cool

post a picture of your carb lines

Float arm shouldn't need to be bent, I'm running a 115g spring and with a 1.5 needle and seat I have the correct pop off off like 54psi. Do you have a pop off gauge? Is I possible your needles are not coming off the seats? This could cause your symptoms. Maybe put your old arms in without bending them and see if it runs

Reeds are good?

Needle arm diaphragm installed in correct orientation?

I just recently rebuilt my carbs as well.. Did you end up switching out your springs?
Don't know what setup you have but I'm running a 710cc, milled head, mild porting and a b-pipe.
I switched to the "gold" 115gr spring and my ski wasn't getting enough fuel, it barely started and cut off when you touch the throttle... If you did use the gold spring that came in the rebuild kit, switch back to the shiny silver one and try it again.
