I have gas to carb and good spark but seems no gas to cylinder could there be a vacuum line missing someplace?

pour gas downt the spark plug hole to get it going, My scoot wouldnt start after I rebuilt it even though the carb had gas, after I did that it began to run normaly.

check your reed valves
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
