97 GTS won’t run

I’ve got a 1997 sea doo GTS that will start while pulling the choke but dies after 30 seconds or so and it won’t run without a choke. I did a full engine rebuild on this ski and rebuilt its single carb but it still won’t run right and I don’t know what’s wrong or how to figure it out. It sat for about 15 years after it would bog down while running and when I got to it it was seized so I did a full rebuild and it still won’t run.
 
Did you follow the carb rebuild sticky?
Did you use only Genuine Mikuni parts?
Will it run if you connect the carb feul hose directly to the tank?

I used only genuine mikuni parts. I don’t know what the rebuilt sticky is or what you mean by connecting the carb fuel hose directly to the tank.

Did you use the new springs in the kit? If you did they are wrong.

You can bypass the fuel strainer and fuel valve to see if they are the problem by running a temporary hose from the fuel thank to the carb inlet.
