if it's got dual tanks then it will have aswitch, but gas in one tank shold still get there. check the fuelppump install and crank fuel into a jar by the carb. if you are getting it there then it's a crb problem. if not then try a hose to asmall can of gas and see if it's getting fuel then. if it runs then it's a tank/lin eproblem.
