Trouble starting ski...

[jkdavids121507]

New to standups and skis in general, but I have an 83 js550 that started with no problems a month ago. I've replaced a couple fuel fuel lines and put a new battery in and am having trouble starting now. What could the problem be? It turns over, but wont actually start. Is there something I need to do since I replaced the fuel lines? It no longer has a choke, the person that owned it before put a primer kit on it. Any help would be a huge help as I was planning on going out riding this morning...

first make sure you have spark , then pour a little gas down the carb and see if it fires up .

remember when you check spark you need to have the plugs grounded to something

Are you sure you put the fuel lines on right? SKI Till I Die is right Spark first make sure you got it, Then fuel,

Carbs may need a cleaning. Did the ski sit for a while without being run?

just put your hand over the carb while cranking it to choke it and pull gas into the lines.
