Ski-doo being stubborn. Tried various things.?

Alright so i've had this Ski-doo 380 for a couple years, and recently it sat for about 2 years without being ridden, and i got it back up to par to ride and everything, and took it up north with my other sled. I ran i'd say at least a full tank of gas through it and then it just decided to quit, right in the middle of a trail it just died, literally. I tried messing with the carbs multiple times, and the plugs, and its got compression.

I've cleaned the jets and carbs twice, and swapped both plugs out and checked for spark.. The only time it gets close to starting is when i pull the plugs out, roll it over a few times(treating it like its flooded) and then try to start it again right after, i have no clue what to check next, ive been told fuel pump, but im almost positive i can see fuel going through the lines on the carbs..Ski-doo being stubborn. Tried various things.?
Check for cracks in your fuel line from the tank to the carbs. if they are old and brittle they will crack and you won't get any gas to the carbs. they do not have a fuel Pump because they are 2 stroke. your reeds might be broken or need replacement. They are mounted in front of the carburetors next to the cylinders. if they are broken or worn out it will act as if it is flooded all the time. the fuel filter in the tank may be clogged up also
