Have you, Checked that the petcock is turned on? Removed a spark plug and checked for spark when you crank the engine? Removed the A/C and looked to see if you can see fuel squirt into the carb throat when you twist the throttle?

Also...and I say this often...because this little bastard pisses me off so bad I'm about upgrade my ignition to get rid of it...if everything checks out...make sure that DAMN VOES switch tests OK and is hooked up right.

RE: help
not sure if your bike has it or not, but if you have a vacuum operated petcock, check out the vacume line to it. If it's cracked or leaking it'll lock up the petcock and no fuel will flow even though the valve is turned open. To know ifyour petcock is a vacuum operated one, basically it'll have another line attacted to it other than the fuel line. Other than that like others mentioned check for spark and take the ac off while trying to start it to see if fuell is getting sucked in or not.
