Carb problem
I have recently decided to resurrect my old 2000 Honda 400 Ex. It has been sitting for over 5 years at least. I started by charging the battery, cleaning and refilling the fuel tank with new fuel,replacing the spark plug and cleaning out the carb. I purchased plenty of carb cleaner and a carb rebuild kit, I have used most of the cleaner and replaced all the worn and old parts. After reinstalling the carb I’m finding that the bowl will not fill with fuel, I know I’m getting gas into the inlet but it is stopping there. Should the bowl fill with fuel as soon as the valve is opened on the tank or does it take engine vacuum to fill it on this model? I have tried to clean this thing every way I know how to no avail, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I know it is long!

Anyone know of reputable Northern VA shops?
Relating to this–are there region-specific sections/threads on the forum (where a post like this would go)? Can’t seem to find them.
