Hi,
When the carb's are stripped, there's a "tube" that takes fuel from the float bowl to the choke, this cannot be removed but has a tiny hole at it's "top" end, make sure it's not blocked (fill with petrol and open choke), if it's blocked use brute force and ignorance to clean. You'll feel much better!
Regard's Phil
