Why does your kawasaki Lakota sport run while you spray gas in carb but wont on its own thee tank is good and the filter fuel valve are both clean?

Possible causes:

1. Clogged fuel line or fuel filter: Ensure the fuel line is free of any obstructions and that the fuel filter is clean.

2. Bad spark plug: Replace the spark plug and check the spark plug wire for any damage.

3. Idle mixture too lean: Adjust the air-fuel mixture screw to allow more fuel into the engine.

4. Fuel pump issue: Check the fuel pump for proper function.

5. Bad CDI unit: Replace the CDI unit.

6. Dirty carburetor: Remove and clean the carburetor, paying close attention to the jets and passages.

7. Stuck float: Ensure the float in the carburetor moves freely and is not sticking.

8. Check the compression: Low compression can cause the engine to run poorly or not at all.

9. Vacuum line leak: Check for any vacuum line leaks that may be causing a lean fuel mixture.
