'99 GTX LTD not getting fuel

First off I'd like to thank you all for all the help thus far, you're awesome!

I replaced the gray lines, the fuel filter, the selector valve and rebuilt the carbs. All lines are in the correct places but the carb is not pulling any fuel to the carb. (It was prior to all of this) I can suck fuel to the fuel filter by mouth with the valve in the on position.

Not sure where to look from here, pull the carb again?
 
Did you follow the carb rebuild sticky?
If it isn't pulling fuel then there is an air leak in the fuel system, pulse line isn't connected or fuel pump isn't correct.
 
Hi, I have a 1998 Seadoo GTX Limited. Its only done 25hrs from new, its correct as I have owned from new. Stored last 10 years, wanted to get it started so drained the old oil from the tank along with the petrol. Put some new oil in the tank and put a 50:1 premix in the tank as did not want to prime the oil pump, hard to get to on this model. No fuel to the filter when trying to start. Took the plugs out and tried again as not to run battery flat, still no fuel to the filter. Really did not want to rebuild the carbs so changed all the grey fuel lines (although they all looked absolutely fine). Tried again, still no fuel to the filter. Took the new fuel inlet hose off the carb and could easily suck fuel down. Connected back up, still no fuel to the filter. Put more petrol in tank in total 15lt. Still no fuel to the filter when turning over (i did lube the barrels throughout the process as not to run them dry with all the cranking of the engine) Then I poured some premix fuel down the two barrels, put the sparkplug back in and it started, then died, done this 3 times and now it runs fine, fuel flows through. I got it water ready (usual stuff, changed jet pump oil etc) then took out for a warm up and it runs beautifully. Will take out again on a warmup with the premix just to be sure all the old 2-stroke oil has run through and its on the new oil, then I will drain the gas tank and put some fuel in as its a bit smoky. Hope this helps.
 
TY, played with it last night and got it running. I pulled the pulse to check it was fine so I pulled the fuel feed line and sucked the fuel until I unfortunately got some in my mouth. Popped it back on and she cranked up after a few tries.

Now I have a new issue lol, but I'll start a new post...

Thanks all, really appreciate it.
